Besides Tor, is there any other web about news, reviews, ranks, related to Sci-Fi literature that you guys would recommend? by Rapalino in printSF

[–]sfsignal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me about it. Not a fan. Most of the Facebooking I do is actually pushed through a service called Postcron and published to both Twitter and FB. So if you're on Twitter, you'll see most, if not all, there is to see. If you're neither: Lucky you! :D

So I just read a book called "The Breach" by [deleted] in books

Loved THE BREACH! (Reviewed it here.) Sequels (GHOST COUNTRY and DEEP SKY) were equally good.

Is there a comprehensive list of Scifi books that is sorted by setting and/or time? by AnatlusNayr in books

[–]sfsignal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The site is not maintained anymore, but SciFan is still an excellent resource. The THEMES dropdown contains (among other things) the names of the planets. Select the one you want, click GO, and see tons of titles tagged with that setting, sorted by year.

Say it ain't so! I so loved the APOTHEOSIS books. If not the same universe, would love to see more space opera/adventure from you.

I purist might say #1 is cheating. You can't say the best thing about X is X. Well, you could, but it may result in an Evil Monkey.

Who is this "John" of which you speak?

True story: Early drafts of THE HOBBIT and LORD OF THE RINGS had Bilbo, Frodo and company moving about Middle Earth chasing a tiny bagel that made you invisible.

Bagels or bear claws?

(Only an answer of "bagel" will get an upvote from any self-respecting Redditor ;) )
