I just read "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," and then I wrote a blog post about it (link below)

We think the story about big, scary dinosaurs is cozy.
Catch our full discussion on "Triceratops" here:

I've learned that if you want to make fun of sci fi, describe it by adding the word "space" in front of everything.
Turn "guns" into "space guns," "villains" into "space villains," etc.
It doesn't change really the description, but it makes everything sound that much more silly

So to the extent that Weir means merely that he wants his stories to entertain more than they preach, we can get on board. But to the pretension of keeping all politics/social commentary out of a story--even by implication--we have to throw up a flag. Nice idea; impossible to do.

My friends Alex and Joel just talked about "Susan" by Harlan Ellison. It's a very sweet story, and I'm glad they got me to check it out
Susan, a sweetly romantic turn from the author of "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream"
Check out the latest episode of The Beagle And Child:

Since baseball's Opening Day is just around the corner, I wrote a review on W.P. Kinsella's novel, Shoeless Joe (a.k.a. Field of Dreams)
