   I found your comments on L. E. Modesitt, Jr. interesting – as my experience is rather different. I read the first of the Spellsong Cycle, but I haven’t read any of the fantasy-based ones – Recluce or Corean series. Instead, I got the Ecolitan, Forever Hero, and Parafaith stories, and I feel like he did more there to look at identity and what it means, and how it affects how we interact with the world and creates our morals and ethics. I really do like his writing.

   Still, he’s no Heinlein.

   Nate, you have managed something I wouldn’t have expected.
   By implication of your comment about the little spaceship stickers on sci-fi titles in libraries you have made me feel old…

   I’m just a bit younger than you 😉 but I too recall searching the shelves with those stickers.

     I’m 3/4ths his age, and *I* feel old – but it’s not because of his walking & talking. But yes, my library used the rocket sticker, and the atom sticker, to indicate SciFi – and I covered that place shelf by shelf by shelf finding said stickers and reading everything with them. I remember the joy of finding the first of the Tom Swift Jr. novels – and realizing that that big streak of yellow on the shelf meant there were a *LOT* of them to read!!! Asimov, Bova, Clarke, Heinlein (even if it was only his Juveniles!), Norton, Nourse… Mmmmm…
