New book to add to faves list "Stick this in your memory hole" by Tristan Clark
read it!
read it now!
NOW!

Apologies. It is indeed Green Hills of Earth. I tend to use Terra instead of Earth when I mean the planet. Confused someone reading my geology notes quite nicely....

And DnD is fun. Wish people here were not such squares that they did not play it. Dratted mundies.

Has that "Stick it in your memory hole" book come out yet? Or is still in printing stage?

I think it's out... But I'm not sure.

If it's not, I'll lend it to you.

Thank you!

This is geeky but I must recommend [www.monolithpress.com]

Thanks Martin - I was having trouble finding "Green Hills of Terra"

"The Man in the High Castle" is a PK Dick book.

If you are still looking for an book try The Philosophical Strangler by Eric Flint and ( i think Robbert Forward). It does have a Late Midevil Fell about it but is not the typical swords and dragons. There is even a version of Goliath(TM) in it sort of. And there is a Religion there which acts make the Spanish Inquistion look like church lady types. In a word the humor is Sardonic.

Hmmm.... It was not bad. Greyboar is cool though.

I think it might be free at Baen's library. I have posted a link to that somewhere already....

Welcome by the way. :) Have a piece of cake.

I did not like them much. Too gung-ho up America and so on for me. Not really my sort of thing.

What, is it like Tom Clancy or something?

No. Basic plot is that a freak interstellar accident sends a 30mile or however big area of modern... Virginia? Maybe.... back to 1632 Germany. Which is in the middle of the 30 Years War.

It is pretty popular though and is not that bad a read. The cheerleading for the US got to me though.

I understand how one wouldn't quite like the 1632 series if one is not in the US. But then It is nice that there is a series about somewhere else other than LA/Frisco/Miami/New York. So each of us has there own sore spots. anyway the sequils are not so gun-ho you might want to take a look at those.

Fair enough. I think I started 1633, but then saw something shiny and got distracted....

I prefer the stuff he co-wrote with Dave Freer. Try Rats, Bats and Vats.

Just finished 'Kavalier & Clay' which I got for Christmas. Never read Chabon before. I highly recommend. Didn't hurt that he name-checked Caniff. Of course, he had to, given the subject matter.
