The same thing I do every weekend.
Clean the house, spend time with my SO, and get into a good book.

What I should be doing is devoting more time to my writing.

government Hmm, I wouldn't say government. Someone has to govern. Anarchy isn't really workable. But, as I am sure you know, the only person that should be allowed to govern is the person that doesn't want to. So what do we do? Force that person to govern against their will? Then who really has the...

I was a semi-finalist for the first season of Big Brother.

After seeing the show, I was thrilled that I was not a finalist.

1. Mordant's Need 2. The Last Unicorn 3. A Canticle for Leibowitz 4. 1984 5. The City and the Stars 6. Chronicles of Thomas Covenant 7. The Neverending Story 8. Hart's Hope 9. The Door Into Summer 10. Flowers for Algernon I feel like I am leaving some books out, but these are the first 10 that come ...

I second this.

I don't know if I completely like Linden Avery, but I understand her.

I haven't read FR yet, though.

Poppycock! Rus is constantly trying to make everyone see that eastern orthodoxy is the only true christianity, and I am relentlesly trying to take peoples believe in god(s) away, and convert them to my own particularly fundamental atheism! ;) Well, you are both wrong. But I won't try to convince ei...

Yes, I have read much of Asimov. The Foundation series has just been last on my list. I agree with you about his writing style, which is probably why I prefer his short stories to his novels. So far, the robot series has been my favorite, especially The Robots of Dawn and Robots and Empire. Some wri...

Bell-bottoms.
They need to stop coming back into style.

i absolutely would NOT read Prelude to Foundation BEFORE reading the original trilogy. it wasn't WRITTEN before the original series and its SPOILERVILLE !!!!! Thanks, Lucimay. Perhaps I should read the original trilogy first and then the rest in this order: Prelude... Forward... ...Edge ...and Earth

When I don't notice how long it takes, that is when I know the sexual intercourse was good.

Yes, you are.
So I'm sure you won't mind if I take all your stuff.
It's not really happening, because I don't exist.

Malik,

Thanks for all the information.
From what you have said, I think I will read the Foundation series in chronological order.

I believe that we, barely infants in our evolution, know precious little about all there is to know. I am an agnostic that leans towards deism. I prefer to be humble in regards to what I believe. I could always be wrong. I only discuss my beliefs with someone that truly shows interest and does not w...

I just purchased this series a few months ago, and will pretty soon get around to reading them. I have already read the Robot and Empire series. My question is what is the best order to read the Foundation novels in? I prefer chronological order, but if there is an order that Asimov intended these t...

1. Stephen R. Donaldson 2. Arthur C. Clarke - if he were alive :cry: 3. Peter S. Beagle 4. Ray Bradbury 5. Walter M. Miller - again, if he were alive That would be it for me. I do have an extensive library of books, but there are very few authors I would like to meet. This is not out of snobbery, bu...

Hi. I have been summonsed.
Nice place here.
