Historia
Edgar Hopkins is a retired math teacher with a strong sense of self-importance, whose greatest pride is winning poultry-breeding contests. When not meticulously caring for his Bantam, Edgar is an active member of the British Lunar Society. Thanks to that affiliation, Edgar becomes one of the first people to learn that the moon is on a collision course with the earth. Members of the society are sworn to secrecy, but eventually the moon begins to loom so large in the sky that the truth can no longer be denied.

I can’t believe this novel isn’t on all the lists of classic science fiction. An equal to Earth Abides by George R. Stewart.

This is the most gut wrenching science fiction novel since Flowers for Algernon and just as beautiful.

Sy Montgomery's popular 2011 Orion magazine piece, "Deep Intellect", about her friendship with a sensitive, sweet-natured octopus named Athena and the grief she felt at her death, went viral, indicating the widespread fascination with these mysterious, almost alien-like creatures.

The heart and soul of science fiction
Revisado: 01-08-18
I’ve always felt the short stories appearing in the pulp magazines were the heart and soul of science fiction. These twenty-six tales are the one the Science Fiction Writers of America voted as the best published before 1964. This anthology comes as close to that goal as it’s possible to achieve with a poll of experts.
The narrators has showcased these stories in the best way possible.

Historia
Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon - the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell". But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness.

It might help if you're an old guy like Ove to really understand this book - but even if you aren't you should still love it.

Still a classic
Revisado: 07-03-16
I read Lord of the Flies as a kid. It still holds up at age 64. And it's an essential book for those who love stories about being stranded on a deserted island. I usually hate when an author reads an audio book, but Golding did fine here.

Really enjoyed this quiet story about four dying people getting new cloned bodies. There's little action because the story focuses on the personal experiences.

Wolfe covers the genre impressively, while discussing about 70 books. I've read maybe 40, and now I want to read the rest and reread my old favorites.

Childhood friends Patricia Delfine and Laurence Armstead didn't expect to see each other again after parting ways under mysterious circumstances during high school. After all, the development of magical powers and the invention of a two-second time machine could hardly fail to alarm one's peers and families. But now they're both adults, living in the hipster mecca San Francisco, and the planet is falling apart around them.

Fascinating meeting of science and magic
Revisado: 02-07-16
This story brings science fiction and fantasy together but it will take me a while to understand what it's saying. I can't tell if it is merely a story or does it has something specific to say.
