Sorry OMM, FOr some reason I never became a fan of hers, but there are a few I've read and enjoyed. Been so long I had to google it. The Ship WHo Sang is the only title I'm sure of but I know there are at least 3 more, I guess that is about 1% of her stuff, lol.

She wrote two series of books that just blew my mind. Remember, she didn't get serious about it until she turned 80. I would highly recommend "The Rowan" and "Dragon Flight". In my opinion she creates scenarios that are truly SF not fantasies. The one you read was not her best work.

Sorry, I get carried away sometimes.....Don't we all:grinjoint:

She has been a busy lady.

The Rowan sounds very familiar, I'd know in a half dozen pages.
Certain authors just get their hooks in, they seem to be able to develope incredible detail with little effort.
lol Some go on for pages to make the smallest point, but I still really like Heinlein anyway, lol. kidding

Have you read "The Gap" series by Stephen R Donaldson?

If you aren't talking about "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever", then you aren't talking Stephen R Donaldson....those books were my first adventure into hard core fantasy and wow I loved em, have read them many times until they didn't make it back from a loaning. If you like fantasy I highly recommend the Belgariad by David Eddings for it's engaging characters. And OMG for sheer fun and for simpler times and mind sets, read the Lensman series by Doc E. E. Smith. Might be hard to get though as are very old.

:peace: from the mountains.

(Haven't read "The Gap" series but just might try it.)

Let me write that down too. Thanks High:surf::surf:

Okay, you got me on the last couple and I'll have to find them both.

Have either of you read the RiverWorld series by Philip Jose Farmer?

Kind of an adventure/historical/sci-fi tale of everyone that had ever lived on earth being resurrected at once on a world built by aliens on a guilt trip with a 10 million mile river as their only mode of transportation to decipher the mystery of their existence.

i'm holding the first book,"To your scattered bodies go", and getting the urge to read the whole series for the umpteenth time.

I've been hard-core sci-fi since I was a child of 5 and 6 reading Tom Swift novels that my parents gave me when I ran out of Hardy Boys. I still have almost the whole set of Hardy Boys and lots of other novels from the 50's and sixties. My name and wishes to the universe are on their way mounted to the outside of the Huygens space probe launched Oct. 15, '97 to Titan. Saturn's largest satellite. I have a copy of the gold-plated master CD attached to the probe sitting on my desk. 80,000 messages with texts, drawings, signatures and audio messages are out there to tell the green meanies where we are. lol

I read that last stuff off the back of the CD cover. Everyone that was a part of it received a copy. From the European Space Agency in '97.

Almost finished my Asimov's sci-fi mag from April '93. The one with his last and greatest Foundation novella, "The Consort" in it. I haven't read it in years and expect to enjoy the hell out of it. Think I'll crack some Farmer next.

Have a good night you guys. C'ya L8r.

:peace:

Well you old fart LadRat Tom Swift!!!!

I think the Riverworld series is one of the best ever too. The movie was good, but didn't do it justice.
What a trip, all us tinkerers, and DIY guys seem to have something in common. Saw Avatar last week in 3D was great, the story kinda feel apart during the last part, but I still loved it.
If the snow ever melts LabRat you should see it. First time I was in a theater in years. :ganjamon:

Yeah, Riverworld was a great book, I really enjoyed Heinlein's "Number of the Beast", kinda follows a similar fantasy line, but you just fall in love with the character's. After I started reading in my 20's I was voracious and the public library is awesome. I should of been absorbing the classics but the stuff I read was much more enjoyable. :smokin:

I liked horror novels too. Like "In the dark" by OMM, a story about a girl seeking immortality and it being denied by a loving father who secretly wants to just prepare her for the inevitability of death and dismemberment. In later chapters, the plot takes a twist as the dead girl rises from the ashes in a cloud of smoke to take the father on a journey of discovery and adventure deeper into the land of "Couch"....RoorRip

Just smoked a taste of my Frost Lotus (bagseed). :smokin2:

I agree about the Riverworld series but it seems I missed the movie completely. Downloading it now.

Haven't seen Avatar yet, everybody seems impressed. I like a well done story over special effects but I hear the 3d is worth while.
