My dos centavos

I have been reading SF since I was in 5th grade, maybe earlier. (38 now)  I
love the old generation.. Asimov. Clark. Heinlein (especially his hippie
dippie days with free love and transdimensionalism).  The older gen is
great.. but keeping up with the newer authors is more refreshing to me.

I would like to share three authors I just love and recommend all their
works.  Neal Stephenson, Julian May and Jack Chalker.  Neal is of the Bruce
Sterling school whereas Jack is all over the map from hard space opera to
silly fantasy. Julian you just have to experience to understand.

Also I am a big Dr. Who fan and am reading the eighth doctor BBC books in
order. I have to say 75% are very good and the other 25% just pretty good.
It is like seeing a new episode each book. I know some of you are big fans
and I can't recommend this series enough.

Well just wanted to share what I am reading recently with my esteemed
listers.

Mike H.
