Just for the record, I have absolutely zero enthusiasm for one of the supposed "Most Anticipated Dates in Science Fiction History". Bleh. Heinlein is the only author that I hate almost as much as Hemingway. Stranger in a Strange Land made me want to gouge my own eyeballs out. Hell, even reading brainless fanboys gush about it makes me want to gouge my eyeballs out. I can only assume that never having been an adolescent male means I lack the capacity to find it the Greatest Book Evahr.

And so, in conclusion, *STAB*

I, on the other hand, have commenced with rereading the Liaden books, because they're great comfort books for whatever reason. I really want to reread all of CJ Cerryh's Foreigner series, including what's been published of the new trilogy, but Foreigner is currently out on loan. Alas. I need to make sure that it still holds up as one of the greatest science fiction series I've ever read. Probably - Cherryh really is that good. I need to read some more LeGuin soon, too. And, you know, possibly make a dent in that 200+ unread book pile I have. Grah...

[ADDENDUM] Despite what Bruce says, Pirates >>> Terrorists. That is all.
