Subject: Re:[OT] Summer Reading List
here we go again :-)
- The "Reality Dysfunction" series by Peter Hamilton
- "Passage at Arms" by Glen Cook (hard to find but worth the effort)
- The Uplift War series by David Brin
- The Vorkosigan Saga by Bujold (we're deadly serious)
- "Armor" by John Steakly (whatever has been said onlist, it's still
in print for a reason)
- "The Real Story" and the rest of the series by Donaldson (no,
seriously. Asides from the female lead going through sevn kinds of
screaming hell (2 or 3 being her own fault) it's terrific science
fiction. Book 4 ends with the most dramatic 150 pages of space combat
I've ever read. The science is a tad off at times, but is still above
average).
- the Man-Kzin Wars series. Seven is my favorite, but its all pretty
good.

Devolution is very real to me.
Whenever I hear the "Odd Couple" theme, I get this image of Dennis
Rodman borrowing Marge Schott's toothbrush.
Like most emails, this one is probbaly a first draft
