Today was more of that soggy camperness. At least it has stopped raining now! Martha's twins are in the girl's old box where it is warm and dry and Daisy looks like she is going to wait for better weather to have her fawn. The rest of the deer are soggy but happy.

Now the reason for this particular segment of Jessy's insanity: Alex asked me to post some of the better science fiction authors I have read lately. Now, I generally don't read much in the way of hard core sci fi. I read mostly fantasy novels, or at least borderline fantasy sci fi. But Alex asked so here is what I have read lately in the way of sci fi.

Spider Robinson- Lots of fun, humorous but definitely has a message he wants to get out. I have read the Callahan books and the Stardancer books DeathKiller and more recently The Free Lunch which was really good. His books are not set all that far in the future and some of them have been reprinted after they were supposed to have already happened but they are still a good read.

Douglass Adams- Classic crazy Brittishness. I adore the Hitchhiker's Trilogy and his other books are just as much fun.

Issac Asimov- More classic Sci Fi. I just really like his style.

Mercedes Lackey- She is not strictly sci fi but she should be included on any list of my fav authors because I own every book she has ever written. She has done some sci fi though and I liked it almost as much as her other books. The Werehunter anthology has several really cool sci fi short stories.

C.J. Cherryh is also really good. I have three of her books and I have enjoyed all three.

Robert Aspirin's MYTH novels are borderline sci fi but they are really good and a lot of fun to read.

Well that is all that i can see from here and I dont want to tear my bookshelves apart just now. They are not the most organized of shelves since I have about twice as many books as I have room for on them and I have two or three more boxes that haven't even been put out. This will have to do.

If you want to count Marvel novels, I could add a whole bunch more but I don't think that is what she wants.
