Posted on Tuesday, December 8, 2009 by Keith

Jets to the Sci-Fi Ghetto Leave Hourly

Posted on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 by Keith

I just finished reading The Demolished Man, by Alfred Bester. I am disappointed. Bester’s The Stars My Destination, I love. I read it last year for the first time and it’s now on my top 10 sci-fi list, right next … Continue reading →
