Well not too many people had the opportune, this board's been de-voiced pawn style for a LONG time. Turned peeps off. Of course.

But I'm one of those mods who'll let you get away with all kindsa 'controversial' writing material a'cuz I think we need to keep that good ol' 'merican Freedom of Speech! (?) Last couple of posts were just fulla 'nasty' 'plotlines' -- but that's just my dinky opinion, I'm just a mod.
Lessen there be a fight or trouble of some kind, I'm off in the shadowz :·D

Have fun 'a'll

~ Magenta der Laute

Ohhh, but I don't seem to see those delete or edit buttons anywheres. Guess the gothics have ruined it for all us more honest mods :·/

How interesting -- welcome. btw Horseman. I wonder why only the Stories board is writable..........

No matter, it's nice to have a place for a voice again. ty nb!

It was a dark and stormy night______

Hmmmm, there's seems to be less activity on this board lately. Story getting a bit stale?
If so, we could start fresh again, it's up to u.

Suddenly, a bolt of thunder! And from behind a boulder, there came a....

Yes, I know about Quantum Foam. But then, so does KIp Thorne :·)

      ~ MS

The Books & Stories board is open for Story-Tag!
Remember, whoever starts the new story is the one chosen for Editor of that story when it is finished.

    Let the Fun Begin!! :·)

                 ~ MS

Incidently, has anyone read any books by Tom Wolfe?

Just to let you know . . .

  We're working diligently to return this board back to including the "Story-Tag Game", should have it up and running A.S.A.P.

Sorry for the inconveniance!

         Stay tuned...

Hokuriku -- I can understand why you would prefer the book over the film. I noticed some pretty important things missing from the movie that were in the book (i.e. The Mechanical Hound).
Still, in defense of the 1966 version, I haveta point out their artistic value, very imaginative and also interesting to see the actress playing Montag's wife and Clarisse -- just different hair!
Her ability to switch around had me fooled until I saw the documentary.
I mentioned this movie being revisited, in case you don't believe me, here's the listing at IMDb:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0360556/
Might be interesting to see if/when it arrives in the public! Could be really good if the movie people cooperate and don't fuss with Bradbury too much.

I haven't heard of Nesvadba, but I'll be sure and look his name up! Any books in particular by him I should check out?

That's really cool! I'm a fan of Sci-Fi, but will read other stuff as well.
I currently have Twilight Zone: Season One on DVD. I'm gonna get number two for Christmas!
I've just completed my Outer Limits DVD collection. They had some really GOOD writers for that show! That's why it's sooo rotten and sad that the show was cancelled right in the MIDDLE of the second Season! The network didn't even let them finish! So, to show for it, on the last disc of the second DVD boxset, there's this awful emptiness, only one episode -- where there should be FOUR like the first boxset! But I appreciate having the Outer Limits available at all. Though, it should have ran longer back then IMO!

Anywayz, I definitely recommend you pick up Huxley's The Doors of Perception, it's an awesome read, very profound, and unlike anything else!

Would appreciate you telling me still why you dislike Fahrenheit 451?

I'm curious Dano, what makes you dislike Bradbury's work and in particular Fahrenheit 451?

How Long is a Chinaman

I know you are but what am I? :·)~

Thanks Hokuriku, I'll check into the English possiblities. Ya never know what you can find on the net if you look hard enough!

Have you ever seen the Fahrenheit 451 movie? I have it on DVD, it's really awesome despite what the critics say!
There's supposed to be a new 451 film in the making and Bradbury's completely involved with it! So, maybe we'll see a 21st Century version.

Getting back to books -- I'm currently right smack-dab in the middle of reading Rod Serling's second Twilight Zone stories book (RARE), and I started Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception. I've got my reading cut out for me! I love Sci-Fi the most though, I'm currently an aspiring writer and the story focuses on you guessed it - Science Fiction :·)

I heard there are many excellent German and Russian sci-fi writers. These days, I would be surprised to read anything good that is popular or new. But there's a first time for everything, no?

Hokuriku: Hmmm, no, I haven't heard of those. What are they about & what year were they published?

I noticed you forgot to add George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty Four" to your list!

Usurper KM: "The Electric Cool-Aid Acid Test" was not written by Ken Kesey. Although it was about Kesey, the author was Tom Wolfe.

Robert A. Heinlein
Rod Serling
Ray Bradbury
George Orwell
Hermann Hesse
Lewis Carroll
Aldous Huxley
Mark Twain
Jack London
J.R.R. Tolkien
Dr. Carl Sagan

I'm always open to discussion of new and unknown authors, so, fire away!

Here, I hope you will find a great group of open-minded people who love to read!

In Ancient times, there were people known as the Scribes. Their job was to record events and stories for future generations to enjoy. We are forever in their debt.
