• The Hound of the Baskervilles finished
• The Night Land finished

  The Night Land An interesting science fiction story, considering it was written in 1912, but too long and outdated by todays standards. Greg Bear wrote a new version of this story in 2008 titled "The City at the End of Time." It's interesting to compare the two, written almost 100 years apart. I posted this on 23 April 2010

Question of the Week - Back to School Books

Before I even learned to read, "Alice in Wonderland", was my favorite book, and remained so for many years after I could read it myself. I am still a big science fiction fan, so that's probably the beginning of my lifelong love of the genre.

Reader Challenges - Drip, drip, drip...

I was baptized (immersed in water) at the age of 12, confirming my decision to accept God's great gift to all who accept it--the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, granting us eternal life.

Question of the Week - Mini-Courses on DailyLit?

Like billblock, I would also like to see more sci-fi, especially the hard sci-fi, as opposed to fantasy. I would also be interested in a course on it.
