Blue Yawë Pin

“Every race has evolved their own system of writing the ancient language. The dwarves use their runic alphabet, as do humans.

Favorite Sci-fi Books of All Time

As with any top ten or favorites list, it’s inevitable that many deserving entrants will be passed over. Below, you may notice the absence of Ray Bradbury, Gene Wolfe, Ursula K. Le Guin, Philip K.
