I am new to this list. Years ago I happened on a Simak short story. It's haunted me, but I don't have it and don't remember its title. It was about a boy...

Thank you so very much! I am ordering the anthologies from Amazon today. Rosemary Camilleri ... Rosemary Camilleri, Ph.D. 7213 Division St. #8 River Forest, IL...
Greetings: New to the list, not a new fan of Simak. I've been reading him since I first discovered a collection of short stories and "Goblin Reservation" way...
Fred, Welcome to the group. I tried to follow the blog link and was rewarded with a "requested URL not found message". However, I did a Simak search and ...
Gosh-darn-it! Had to fix it again. Yahoo kept formatting it as a URL past where it should. The close-parentheses and the period ")." kept getting included. I...
That's quite interesting indeed. It's difficult to say. I've read some things by John Burroughs (famous nature writer who died in 1921) which also lament the...
Since the computer gremlins kept deleting my jpeg attachment, I took Jorgen's advice (thanks!) and posted a scan of the back of the Simak - reading - Aesop...
Thanks Kevin for the scan! Nice to read the text on "City". Too bad they didn't comment on the recording itself. Wonderful to hear Simak's voice reading...
Fred -- I ran the old Perl/CGI Simak discussion board, and still have its contents archived. I'll put it on my to-do list to see how exportable the messages...
Paul: Thanks! There were a few messages there that I checked every now and again for information, so I'll hope that you succeed in bringing them back. As for...
A couple of news items. I recently bought a copy of an audio cassette by Paperback Audio (I found it at Abebooks.com), Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek Next...
I just attained a copy and read "The Voice In The Void" from Wonder Stories Quarterly Spring 1932. This is the second story I've read by Simak from 1932 where...
Greetings: I'm re-reading "City" for the umpteenth time. I've probably read it every other year or so since 1969 or so. This time around, I wondered--why is it...
Oops! Forgot to include a link to a pretty good summary of the "third place" concept: <http://user.gru.net/domz/third.htm> Fred Kiesche (FPK3) My books are...
I found this very curious too. The title is "City" and then, we are immediately told by the Dog narrator that such a thing as "a city" does not exist:) It is...
Sad but true. In perusing the science fiction section last night, there was no Simak on the shelves at all. A great man forgotten. There were books by...
Greetings: Hopefully it is just a temporary thing. Right now, AFAIK, the only currently published works are from relatively small houses like Old Earth. On the...
Johnboy, This isn't the first time people have lamented the fact that public libraries seem to dropping their copies of Simak books. It was brought up and...
Perhaps another angle on "City:" Following World War II there was a great deal of interest in cities and the impact of advancing technology. The City story...
Those are good points, but that will not put new editions of Simak into Hastings Book Stores. I still find used Simak at almost all used book stores I visit,...
To increase awareness of Simak's fine work, we (fans) could write positive reviews on Amazon.com. ... Rosemary Camilleri, Ph.D. 7213 Division St. #8 River...
Greetings: "...Simak was struggling with the inadequacies he found in human civilization so he took a path not unlike that of historian Spengler (Decline of...
Greetings: While the idea of contributing to the local library is a good one, I know that our local library (and several others that I'm aware of) do not...
