Kathryn I think you have a point. I think content is much more important than
genre labeling. I read things that *interest* me ( BTW Heaven's Gate does
not).
I read the other post with massive confusion. SF was a city in northern
California for me until now.... and Harlan Elison, I thought, was TV
writer.... hmmm.... I don't read much sf, or scifi, which ever one is the PC
name - not since highschool anyway, and come to think of it, it seemed like
lots of fun! Now I read mostly technical nonfiction - and always thought sci
fi was short for science fiction.
Am I being politically incorrect? Those Asimov books I read were sf, and
"Sci-fi" means tabloids and Xfiles?
