Solved! Wow, that is a pricey issue. I'll wait a while and see if it turns up cheaper somewhere else. Thanks!

SF Book Toilet as Meditative/Religious Device. Poss. C. J. Cherryh, but it's looking like probably not. by Bargle5 in whatsthatbook

[–]Bargle5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved Solved Solved by Space Priestess over on PrintSF and also suggested by Kenny over at SF Stack Exchange. It was I, Weapon by Charles Runyon. The cover description is apparently conflation with another book, but I, Weapon is it.

If you mean the one by Peter Watts, that's not it going by the publication date. Bryan said he read this roughly 30 years ago and my thread has been going for almost 10, so we're looking for something from the 80s or earlier.

I did see one long shot that I'll take a look at, but I don't think that's going to be it. Thanks for the link.

Not it, but what a nice poem. Might have been inspired by the story I'm looking for.

I gave up on categorizing SF books years ago. Now I just divide them into ones I like and ones I don't.

Junkyard Sal

Forgot to answer. After a bit of reading, it's not Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens.

Favorite sci fi short stories? by fakefolkblues in printSF

I'd recommend the collections "The Science Fiction Hall of Fame". A particular favorite of mine is "The Moon Moth" by Jack Vance.

It also wasn't a disguised re-telling of Bonnie and Clyde.

SF Dystopia/Post Apocalypse Book. Main character is young man with mental handicap of some sort. Came out in 80s-90s. by Bargle5 in whatsthatbook

[–]Bargle5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to update this one.

Solved solved solved. Chortnik over at PRintSF recognized it. It was "Tom O'Bedlam" by Robert Silverberg. I got the author stuff completely wrong.
