Paul, I had never heard about the movie World Without End (I'd bet you were attracted by the title...). It's the same age of a masterpiece in SF movie, "...
Well, to my pleasure I realised that I'd forgotten the basics of "Trouble with Tycho" so read it again. Although it's only short I read it over several days...
Nice words, Hugh. The Trouble with Tycho starts as a rather ordinary SF adventure, then slowly develops into something much bigger taking the reader by the...
Funny how a book keeps coming up again and again. I just read Trouble With Tycho for the first time back in May and my reaction to it was pretty much what...
Sorry I've been busy, chaps. Not sure if I mentioned that Tycho has been the next Simak on my list by uncanny coincidence. Have a copy sitting on top of the...
Greetings: My daughter has gotten hooked on a cartoon called "Phineas and Ferb", about two boys on a (very long) summer vacation. Each day starts with "Ferb, I...
Very funny. I guess that you explained your daughter about City. Indeed, if the authors weren't nodding to CDS, it's be a very strange coincidence. Roberto ...
Greetings: I did tell her about City and CDS. She has read a lot of fantasy and some science fiction. Every few months I introduce a few new books to her and...
Indeed, I hadn't ever thought about CDS for kids, but if I had to choose a CDS' book probably I'0d just pick The Goblin... - or also " Out of Their Minds ". ...
Or The Fellowship of the Talisman, maybe? At least for teens. Picked up a Ben Bova best ever SF novellas anthology at the weekend with The Big Front Yard.......
Good day everyone, Like so many people, I became acquainted with Simak's books long ago (1970's) and sporadically reread them through the years, depending on...
Welcome aboard Robin. Yes, we are a group of Simak's fans. The " traffic " here goes up and down - now, it's down. Years ago we carried survey about our...
Robin, Welcome. As Roberto pointed out, we all vary slightly on which works speak to us more than others. It is a credit to Simak's talent that he has such a...
Thank you for the welcome, Roberto. I have spent some time browsing in the past posts although I have not read all of them. There are many interesting...
And welcome Robin, it's always great to hear another voice. Like you I had a significant gap in my Simak reading, returning to him a few years ago in my 50s....
Thank you Kevin. Oddly, I had just ordered Skirmish and it came in the mail today. I am looking forward to it. Scott Henderson's website is fabulous; thank you...
Thank you also, Hugh, for the welcome. I agree that I seem to appreciate Simak more and get more out of him than I used to do. I really liked this passage in...
Robin, Glad you like the site. I'm working on some updates for it now. I just read "Second Childhood" for the first time and it's a great story. Scott...
Bud, Thanks for contacting the estate about this. I see on the amazon page for the ebook that one "M. Logan" has asserted that Gate Way does have the right to...
I often realised - even though probably I didn't ever write it - that the average age of Simak's fans is around sixty (I myswel 'll turn sixty next November). ...
PS: you, lucky guy who haven't read many short stories from Simak so far! I read all novels and most of short stories, and, as far as short stories go, I can...
I've noticed that as now our group counts as many as 95 members - so very close to round figure 100. I hope we'll get to that soon - a little step for man, but...
Yes, there is no feeling quite like coming to the end of an author's works and realizing that there will never be any more. I am looking forward to the...
This publisher is also advertising Way Station on Amazon in the ebooks. They have not set a price and it is not available yet but they are advertising it. ...
Thank you for reminding me of this passage Robin, I'd forgotten it. That whole paragraph is rather wonderful. And that was published when he was 69! Best Hugh...
Hello Robin, Always a pleasure to welcome another member. I personally liked Way Station a lot, although I think it was actually the first of his novels I read...
... Gate Way has a habit of publishing e-books they don't have the rights to. When I saw the listing on Amazon, i checked with the individual who administers...
