>There is so much good science fiction - not to mention 'slipstream', 'New >Weird', etc - out there (old and new) why waste your time reading the crap? One thing I've noticed, however, is that the shelf space for what I, and from what I read most folks on Brin-L consider good sci-fi continues to shrink, being replaced by game based series, movie based series, etc. BTW, I don't think graphic novels inherently fit under the "crap" category. I thought "The Watchman" was very good. My son and I had one big argument over it. He argued that it was good literature. I argued it was good, but a different art form than literature because it used graphics to tell so much of the story.
