Subject: [WSFA] Book Reviewing for the WSFA Journal, was BN.com
Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at keithlynch.net>

Lee Strong suggested book reviews for the journal in response to my cranky =
comments about the level of bilge water in the best selling skiffy section =
at BN.com.

Regretfully I must decline.  I gave up reading Baen books a long time ago. =
 And I have no interest in the Left Behind series ("Come the rapture, can =
I have your car?")

Tolkien I read in my youth and enjoyed.

Anne McCaffrey jumped the shark ages ago.

So what am I reading these days?
The Economist.
The New Yorker.
Newspapers, mainly Balt Sun and the Sunday Washington Post.  USA Today =
when I'm on the road.

Bookwise, I've started China Mieville's first novel: King Rat, which so =
fart is quite good.

Sturgeon was an optimist . . .
