Gone back to old timey SF. Been so long sense I’ve read most of these authors that they seem like new books too me. Vance, Heinlein, Poul, Lem, Anderson, Asimov, anyone 30 years back or more. Some books. More books on tape. There are some good books on tape on Youtube if you can stomach the place. Search around.
One of my hobbies is collecting hard copies of old science fiction books.
I have thousands of them.
As you say, every time I pick up one it is a new adventure—incredible stuff.
The one writer who continues to blow me away is Jack Vance. Anything he wrote is just amazing.
(btw, if you click on my name I discuss many science fiction novels and short stories...)
I used to be a big Sci-Fi fan. Then, about 10 years or so ago, more and more Sci-Fi authors were coming out as gay and the characters in their novels were gay. Sci-Fi seemed to be a way to get gay literature under your radar and into your home, with the fantasy part acting as a sort of sugar coating. I don’t see my favorite authors putting out books any more, and I don’t enjoy the twisted stories coming out now.
