I guess my favorite Clarke would have to be Rendezvous with Rama, although the last time I read it was in college, I think. I did recently re-read Childhood's End and was shocked to see just how many of my interests in adulthood showed up in that book (which I initially read as a teenager, probably). Very depressing, though, so I can't call it a favorite! Reading this little Clarke book was very accidental, and I'm not trying to get through the old ones again - more interested in reading new scifi and discovering new authors!(less)

Another Novel?

Yes, dear reader, I am writing yet another novel, thanks to Novel Writing Month, formerly known as NaNoWriMo. I have been participating in this for years, and as I wrote last month, just because the sponsoring organization folded earlier this year, I wasn’t about to stop in 2025.

I’d decided I was going to do this challenge on my own, and try to write 50,000 words on this new novel project this

I've always enjoyed Premee Mohamed's short stories and this slightly longer one was very engaging and well-done. Great voice, written very much like a fable or fairy tale but with interesting modern-sounding dialogue here and there. I liked that comb ...more
