Hmm....pity you don't live right next door so I could assist you in your horticultural endeavours. And while we were at it we could shoot the shit about growing up in th 60's and 70's. There's plenty of us aging loadies on this site.Quote:

Probably the reason I'm such a sci-fi geek to this day.
(never did like Tang much though)
What sci-fi are you into?Quote:

Robert A. Heinlein
Pierre Boule
Piers Anthony...(his older stuff anyway)
Ursula K. LeGuin...(also her older stuff)
Orson Scott Card
StarTrek fan although getting burnt out on that franchise...same for Star Wars
Not much of a fantasy fan...there is so much crap sci fi and fantasy on the bookshelves today, most of it written at a 6th grade reading level, I almost hate to even go in to Barnes and Noble...takes forever to weed through all of the mass produced stuff. I did like Anne McCaffrey's first 2 or 3 Dragonriders books.
I prefer sci fi that makes you think as opposed to having flashy technobabble and big breasted aliens on the cover. Also, I absolutely love the old radio theatre sci fi shows like X minus One and some of the newer ones like Imagination Theatre out of seattle.
When I was about 12 or 13 I joined the Science Fiction Book Club and still have several boxes of hard cover books from those days.
ever read the deeds of pakisarrion by elizabeth moon?Quote:

I'm a little embarrassed to admit it but I got hooked right away. I'm not the guy that would camp out in line for a week to be the first to see the movies - but some of the books are pretty good. I've read about 85 to 90% of the SW's books, which is about all I'm gonna read... I'm not really interested in the books that came before "A new hope".
Knowing that I like that stuff is there a book/author you'd point me in the direction of?
I think I can help you with some "real" sci fi. Those Star Wars books are part of what I referred to as mass produced sci fi. But since you did enjoy them I would suggest trying Enders Game by Orson Scott Card. If you like it, there are several books in that series and Card is a great author. It's the story of a young boy who, after being sent off to military school at age 8, thinks he is playing a military training video game but later finds out that he is responsible for annihilating an entire alien species. That being said, keep in mind that I am a bit of a sci fi snob in that I really detest mass produced market driven literature. I tried reading a couple of the star trek books and found out that they truly sucked. And as I mentioned, I am, or was a big star trek fan. But that too has devolved in to a huge marketing machine. Whatever you should decide to read, and regardless of what I say...keep reading!!!!Quote:

Thanks, I'll check out Enders Game:thumbsup:
I know what your sayin about 'mass produced'... but it'll be my gateway into good sci-fi
ps. sorry I got this thread so off-topic
No problem...always happy to be of service.Quote:
