Re: OT: Read a book!
How could I have forgotten... I also read the seminal cyberpunk novels : Islands in the Net and Neuromancer. Snow Crash is also quite good (wild, butgood).

I loved that book. Went so far as to load up 60 rounds of 7.62x39 with black powder to see if an AK would fire them. Couldn't hit much with them, but it fired all 60 without a stoppage. Man what a mess it was to clean when I was done.

I am really enjoying Deborah Chestor's Alien Chronicles series.

Re: OT: Read a book!
IMHO, the best S.F. writer of all time is Stanislaw Lem. Just my humble opinion again.

Re: OT: Read a book!
R.A. Salvatore.
Patricia C. Wrede - undiscovered and very good, in my opinion. if you find something of her's and it isn't a children's book, read it.
same goes for Josepha Sherman.
Christopher Stasheff.
Tad William's "memory and sorrow" read it.
Rick Cook's wizardry series.
the early hardy boys. once they killed of one of the main characters, calla or iola?, it kind of ruined it for me.
and i never could understand why people read depressing books.
