Hi there Thomas and the group. I've been a Simak fan since 1978, ever since I read Matodonia. Time and Again is great. If you have not read City yet, you are...
We are currently reading and discussing "City" at Classic Sci-Fi. http://groups.Yahoo.com/group/ClassicSci-Fi in case anyone is interested. City is a great...
I read about Talisman somewhere. At the time it struck me as another "Lord of the Rings" clone. I could be wrong. I'll be on the look out for it in stores... I...

Simak mostly wrote soft sci-fi instead of hard. This is one of the reasons I like him so much. I also greatly enjoy his pastoral style of writing. Colleen ...
If you compare this against the other great novels that Simak wrote concerning alien contact, this one is not quite as good. I still love reading it, but I...
