Places on the Web

I've been reading science fiction since I was twelve, when only geeks (and only MALE geeks) read sci-fi. It has remained a constant in my life while other interests have come and gone. I don't find as many books that meet my standards now, I'm more demanding than I used to be. I like characters who develop, personally and in power, over time. If there's romance it should be one of equals and not insta-lust (love). Those are the first things and far from the only things that give a book 5 stars in my ratings. A few of my old favorites:

• C. S. Friedman's Coldfire Trilogy. One of the best written. My "read everything" author. And this trilogy, to me, is as good as it gets. LOVE the end!
• Raymond Feist's Magician Series.
• Barbara Hambly's Darwath Trilogy
• Michael Moorcock's Elric Saga. My guilty pleasure.

The Truth is Out There - But you have to look hard for it...

The mainstream news sucks. I've canceled my subscriptions to the Washington Post, New York Times, and the LA Times. I mostly prefer alternative news sources.

Is it real news?
