Almost all my favorite sci fi authors are dead now! I guess Neal Stephenson is still alive but he hasn't written anything in over 10 years. Grr..

I'm sorry.
Everyone dies. At least he was damn old (90!!!) and did cool shit in his day. Dude was awesome.





Arthur was old, but wasn't Stephenson's last book in the Quiksilver trilogy only 3 or 4 years ago?
waffles are just pancakes with little squares on them.

"Childhoods End" and "Rendezvous with Rama: are two of my favorite SF novels. God speed Arthur. At least he got to live in Paradise (His name for his home in Sri Lanka)
And fear not Neal Stephenson has a book scheduled for publication later this year. The Baroque Cycle was published in 2003/2004
I was sad to see he passed away too. "2001" and was life-changing for me....
He lived to an old age and was a positive influence on the globe...Rest In Peace.
yes, another of my favorite authors gone. At least he did not leave any series unfinished, so nobody will mess up his work.



Not exactly a prolific reader but I really liked "Voyages of a Distant Earth."
It was the first science fiction book I read where no fundamental law of physics was broken. Yeah, and also a good book.





Not many sci-fi writers have written what are considered classics. Certainly Clarke has and a couple of others whose books I read long ago. I'll have to re-read some bio material on him, as I don't read much fiction nowadays and have forgotten lots of info about him.
I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.
Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.
