I heard the radio series when it was first broadcast back in the 1970s. I think I read the original book. I thought the radio series was very funny, but as an advanced sci-fi fan with many books under my belt already, I took it as just a bit of fun - a lampoon of the SF genre. I always thought Asimov was overrated. I was a big fan of Larry Niven, Clarke, Farmer, Heinlein, and a good dozen more. I plan to dig out my (boxed up) SF library when I retire and re-read the lot. After a lifetime's experiences, I think it will be a whole new ballgame :-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
