I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.

Jerry Sohl--Night Slaves. Best known to ST:TOS fans as the writer of the TOS episodes "The Corbomite Manuever" and "Whom Gods Destroy" as well as the OL: OTS episode "Counterweight." Died 2006.
James Tiptree Jr.--Up The Walls Of The World. Her real name was Allie Sheldon, she left this earth 23 years ago, and she could write like a dream. I still remember hearing the report of her death on WRC-TV in 1986.
Ted Sturgeon--Sturgeon Is Alive and Well. I wish that were true. If you ever feel like killing yourself, please read the short story "Suicide" in this volume first. Died 1985.
Henry Miller--Tropic of Cancer. A perennial favorite. "I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive. A year ago...I thought that I was an artist. I no longer think about it, I am. "
Robert Goodman--Maintaining and Repairing VCRs. Because I still use them. If I can understand 1 word in 5, I'll consider myself lucky.

I haven't started it yet but I bought the direct sequel to Enders Game which covers the time between Enders Game and Xenocide in Enders life. I bought in hardcover because I don't have the patience to wait a year for paperback.

I'm curious to know if it's any good.

*shrug* They're not great novels anymore, but I still think they have some decent action and political intrigue.
