This year I resolved to read more classic science fiction and fantasy, hopefully making a dent in that stack of books I really should have read by now. Mostly because they should be good books, but also to be better informed about my genre and its history. I decided that this meant reading six science fiction […]

Hello, happy people! We are HALFWAY finished with June, which means we are almost halfway through the year! How the time has flown. I can hardly believe that the week is over. Yes, friends, it is Saturday, and that means it’s time for our weekly cruise down memory lane. I hope that this week has […]

Welcome to June’s very last roundup! I used to love June. Such promise. Such hope for a long summer spent filled with adventures. Then I had to grow up, get a job, and such things became distant memories. Now, as a “grown up,” these months have ceased to have any of those things. As a […]

I am the most unoriginal gift buyer ever. Why, do you ask? I just buy people books. Go too far beyond that, and I am at a loss. For the people in my life who don’t read, I just wrap up a gas gift card and hope they don’t realize that I gave them the […]

I know. It’s a sad title — all those poor, unwanted books that appear on Christmas morning. Kind of like the Island of Misfit Toys. But January is the month of returns in the retail world. Books are unwrapped only to find their owners unexcited at their arrival. Maybe it’s because grandma misjudged your taste; […]

The science fiction map is vast and expansive, a giant tome that many have struggled to contain and define. It extends not only to known planets of our own solar system — Mars, for example, which was colonized by Burroughs and Kim Stanley Robinson — to entire sub-universes as big as our reality. Asimov’s Foundation […]
