SciFi and fantasy legends seem to be a topic you folks enjoy, so I had some more thoughts on Philip Jose Farmer. He is the author of two great series, The Riverworld and Dayworld. Both are worth reading and The Riverworld is spectacular. He also edited  a series, The Dungeon, which I highly recommend. There were six books in the series, each by a different author (Charles de Lint, Richard Lupoff, Bruce Covielle, and Robin W. Baley). Charles de Lint fans take note. You may not know about this somewhat obscure work of his. If you are interested in reading some works of Farmer, Subterranean Press has recently released a nice collection of his short stories that gives a nice overview of his work. Feel free to comment on some of your favorites.

      Keep on playing the old scary stuff. I think we should have a showing of Father Re and the Mole People!!

      By the way I had a recent sighting of Borlag in a swimming pool of all places. He was drinking some sort of booze. My god man, could he be a drunk!!

      I find that Cordwainer Smith is one of the more overlooked geniuses of the 50s. His work still holds up to this day and is a pleasure to read, and is like nothing you'll encounter then or now!

      The Dungeon series of books was such a cool concept: Each author had free reign to take the characters/story in any direction they wanted to go. ( A side note as well: Robert Gould provided all the artwork for the covers as well as bonus sketches and stuff in the back of each book. ) I would love to see a publisher try this type of idea again with some new writers.
