You kids REALLY need to check out some Stanislaw Lem. He is from Poland and is an internationally acclaimed master of speculative science fantasy. His novel 'A Perfect Vacuum' opened up brave new worlds for parody in this collection of perfect yet imaginary reviews of nonexistent books. Very very intelligent and mordantly satirical, Lem was honorarily inducted into the American Sci-Fi Writers Association in the 1970s, only to later be booted out once some of his earlier essays were translated into English. These essays criticized the piss-poor quality of most American Science Fiction and said that Phillip K. Dick (one of my other favorite authors) was our only saving grace. |

I read the entire series of 5 books once a year. I absolutely love them. They gave me an entirely directly outlook on the universe and things. ![]() |

Sethomas | It's not that I disliked his style, but I've read enough Vonnegut that it didn't strike me as original. Now that I've slept, I like the book more than when I first posted, but I still wouldn't treat it like the canon everyone's made it out to be. |

Setho doesn't have to like Adams' style, Proto. As incomprehensible as that opinion may be, he's entitled to it. ![]() |

Sethomas | Instead of going to sleep, I read this book last night. Found it quite disappointing. I don't think I'll bother with the other three. |
