Dune

05.28.2010 books

I needed some sci-fi. Just felt like it, I guess. I read this book about 15 years ago as one of my earliest forays into the genre, and I loved it. So I bought it again the other day with some Border’s bucks. The cover of the paperback reprint that I read refers to this [...]

7 Steps to Midnight

Okay, did you see I Am Legend? I thought it was a cool flick. It was based on a book by an author named Richard Matheson. I only read maybe one or two books a year in sci-fi so I need a strong referral to grab one, effectively this movie was my strong referral. I [...]

Well, I think I’ve made amends with the genre because this one turned out fine. Here is the route I took to the point of purchase: Read this article in the University of Chicago magazine about John Scalzi. Grabbed the [...]

Neuromancer

08.03.2006 books

I went through a small period back in the mid-1990’s where I read a bunch of sci-fi and fantasy. I read the Dune trilogy, Isaac Asimov’s Foundation trilogy, and the Lord of Rings trilogy. That pretty much gave me my fix and I have not really touched it since. That is, until this week, when [...]
