Greetings from one eye!
Hi everyone, my name's Larry and I just got my first reader! I'll post about that elsewhere but for now I just wanted to introduce myself first.
I read a lot, or used to read a lot, of science fiction and came across this site from a post on the SFF Chronicles forum (thanks to the member for suggesting this place!) I have several blogs but my main one is there to show the books and magazines I'm reading. As I said I used to read a heck of a lot, getting book after book from the library but with 2 kids (back to school soon, yea ) my time is taken up with keeping those 2 in check! I also have a crazy JR cross named Lady, a mad cat named Badger and 4 tarantulas. Oh and 3 fish! I don't know if there's a reading thread on here but I'm half way thru The Purple Cloud by M P Shiel (1901) which I'm quite enjoying! Anyway that's all for now, off to browse the forums. Look forward to meeting you all! |

Welcome Cyclops! I'm sure you'll find lots of stuff here to fill your hunger for Sci-Fi. I've got loads of stuff I've downloaded, many complete collections and Omnibus'. Let me know what you might like and I'll send you some links.

Cheers Gino! At the moment I'm reading a book from 1901 and am looking for recommendations of other SF from that era. I have Mary Shelley's The Last Man and some Machen etc already.
