Thanks for the link Seamie.

Is Ms. Guin really all that? I've picked her stuff up a 100 times but never made it to checkout.

Speaking of female sci-fi writers, Julian May is all over my top ten list. Can't believe I forgot about her. Her Pliocene Exile and Galactic Milieu series are both outstanding.

Try "The Lathe of Heaven" if you can, and then you tell me, it's just personal opinion but I really like her work, of course it's been 25 years since I've read any.

Man, I just flash backed (happens a lot) to a made for TV movie of that book, must be in the late 70's, with that "Greatest American Hero" dude...Bruce Davidson?...it was actually pretty good, much better than the recent and aforementioned "Kelso" debacle.

Ok. Wasn't the hero dude, I always got the two actors mixed up, but it was Bruce Davison.

Not to be confused with Bruce *8==>*inson, who as we all know...

And again not to be confused then with Phillip K. *8==>*...yada yada yada.
