He was great winger.Originally posted by snoopy369
Nah, his genre is well covered in that list. Not a big fan of his writing, myself. I've also left off several writers I *am* a big fan of (John Barnes, ie) because their genres are well covered...Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

A great winger is no good unless you have a good centre to go with him.

i like having the books so i can read them when i'm in a car or something. i love buying books and would rather pay for them than read them on a computer. and i swap books with my bestest friend every time i see her, which is a few times a year, and we have a lot of good books between us.Originally posted by Heraclitus

I read The Moonstone recently, it was fantastic. Then again, I am a bit of a crime fan and it was a buzz reading one of the earliest and best detective novels.
