That's great to hear, Phil. Let me second Roberto's thanks. A definitive edition of Simak's short fiction would be a wonderful thing to have out there in the...
 Hi Neighbors Good to see a little conversation in the group.  Been quieter than the way station of late.  I’m only a few short stories short of having...
I kind of liked the original Dune but, as the sequels came along, the massive plot holes in the story started to become obvious to me. I gave up about halfway...

Cool, Kevin. That looks like Jack Williamson on the cover. It sounds like a great book, if the other images are that high a quality as that one. -Paul Cooper ...
It is Jack Williamson. Here's another. Bill ... From: "Kevin Landreneau" <kevinbernardlandreneau@...> To: "Simak Group" <simak-fan@yahoogroups.com> ...
Hi All Here's a mention of City in today's Guardian newspaper http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/may/14/science-fiction-authors-choice I don't post that...
Interesting, but I didn't ever hear about such CDS's story " Seven Come Back ". Did you? Roberto ________________________________ Da: simak-fan@yahoogroups.com...
Interesting. Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon and City by Clifford D Simak, the first 2 books about post-humanism, make the list, as does A Canticle for Liebowitz...
"Seven Came Back" is listed on "The Science Fiction Short Stories of Clifford D. Simak"*, pages S to Y <http://www.falseducks.com/simak/s2y.htm#> . Originally...
Interesting. I didn't know that another " Time and Again " from an Audrey Niffenegger (I must admit I didn't ever hear about him) existed. One remarkable...
Thank you Paul, you're right. I never read such story, the title didn't ring any bell so I briefly looked in my list and couldn't find it - now I've re-checked...
Hi Roberto It is possible that the paperback collection "Strangers in the Universe" contains more than one story that you haven't read, because several of them...
Roberto, if I understand correctly, the films were made in Germany and were translated into English by the authors. A lot of the phrasing and spelling of the...
I note from Amazon that a new edition of City (SF Masterworks) is about to be published, paperback, by Gollancz on 9th June. Maybe this is just in the UK, I...
It's funny, City is about humans disappearing, dogs taking over, robots, mutants, transcendent life on Jupiter, a philosophy that makes sense, transdimensional...
Hi Hugh et al. Of the stories contained in " Strangers in the Universe " I didn't read: " Mirage " (indeed), " Retrograde Evolution " and " The Fence ". ...
Good point, Paul. One might say that it's just due to City is a great SF book - some (including myself) say the greatest - so it rises over the somewhat...
Hi Rudiger. I was just thinking of you last day, as we didn't read anything from you since long (in realty, we read very little from any of us recently). Good...
As with all the classics, YMMV. For Henderson, it is, IIRC, a number of short stories plus one short novel (?). Try that approach, just read one now and again....
It's funny you say that, I keep trying Star Maker and I do just that, stop dead after a few chapters, I think it includes one of the very best opening...
Please forgive me, but - may I ask what YMMV stands for? Something like YMCA…? Roberto Da: simak-fan@yahoogroups.com [mailto:simak-fan@yahoogroups.com] Per...
