Too long. Let's just put off the whole realist thing and go straight to the sci-fi :nod:.Quote:

Still last nomination up for grabs...
How about "Starship Troopers" by Robert E. Heinlein. A great read and sure to cause lots of discussion.
Namaste

I don't have much interest in Sci-Fi in general so I might take part only if something really tickles.
I hope the voters of Hard to Be a God looked up the prices for a copy before voting, because they are ridiculous. I know one thing: if it wins, I won't be participating. I'm not spending 35$ for a paperback.
No worries; I think we will ask Taliesin to provide a copy for everyone who is willing to take part.Quote:
