its good to be back and not so busy. Glad to see you still around! I have read a little Arthur C Clarke, hes good.. and yes the old stuff is most often better, if only you can get over the time barrier or the words and writing styles. I have mostly been reading old ones lately.. The underground man (highly recommend), a star is my destination (more highly recommend), Brave New World (I'm sure oyu read it already.. and Ive been wanting to tear through 'We' which I hear is the original Brave New World / 1984 book!
