His books I tend to agree with you, but try Turtledove’s Road Not Taken, good short story/novella, very good and ends before you get tired of some of his style. You can download it online for free.
Thanks, but I’ll pass. I don’t have as much time to read as I used to, and I tend to use it to savor new (or old) stuff from my favorite authors, like Jack Vance, Steven Brust, Bujold, Niven, Liaden books, etc.
I’m tempted to revisit Asimov’s Foundation one last time, but I’m afraid I’d find it insipid.
The years have not been kind to a lot of things, including SF, and while I may still enjoy a romp with Telzey Amberdon, when I read Dune post 9/11, I just couldn’t get past the arabic imagery and mumbo jumbo. Blecch.
I think I’ll go find some clouds to yell at now.
