I liked to read so much I would read on the way to school.

This worked well until one day a lamppost decided to jump out right in front of me (me, age 6, bleeding profusely, very pissed off at not being able to read with the blood spouting everywhere).

Since then I don't read while mobile. I can't wait for my car to drive itself, that way I'd have lots more time to read (I still love to read).



Apropos reading. I just finished Larry Nieven's Ringworld. I only noticed that it was written in 1970 halfway through the book.


If you're in to old sf try to find 'The Space Merchants' by Pohl and Kornbluth.


Thanks. I'm into P.K. Dick's stuff, too. I read everything I could find in the local library. But since I just moved, they may be more here.

I'll check out 'The Space Merchants'.
