Our house is full of foxed copies of early science fiction, which have all been read a million times (we live in France...) I've just finished rereading John Wyndhams Day of the Triffids (written 1951!) which really hasnt dated at all.

You tease us with all these little tidbits.<BR/><BR/>I'm very intrigued by the way you've described your science fiction - it sounds, if I may, more "feminine" than others I've read (admittedly not many, it's not really my genre). What turned me off in the past was that overly masculine perspective, something I found it difficult to identify with, but I think I'd like yours much more.
