[stylist] sharing

[Jacobson, Shawn D]

Chelsea and Debbie

As a fellow science fiction fan (I also used it as a kid to mentally escape from life) I would be interested in knowing any books that particularly moved you.  I'm always looking for interesting books to read.

Chelsea--have you read "The Martian" yet.  I think you would just love it.  I'm a little past half way through now, and this is a science geeks dream book.

Anyway, seeing that this is a writer's division chatroom, lets talk books.

Hi Debbie,
Science fiction has always been a form of escapism and possibility for me. Then again, I've always been a futurist, so goes with the territory, I guess. Robert Heinlein is a classic author; besides rocketship Galileo, my favorites from him are space Cadet and star man Jones. Never could get into Stranger in a Strange Land.

Red thunder is available on both bookshare and BARD; I like the BARD narrator for the first two books.

College students always love cookies around finals ahem, Christmas time. Trust me.

> Hi! Physics! That's cool.  I have not read John Barley, but I will try and find Red Thunder.  Today I tried watching BATTLE Star Galactica, but it was not described, and it was very hard for me to follow.  I used to watch it when I was younger, back when Loren Green, I believe, played the part of Adama.  Lol.  Guess that dates me.  I like Anne McCaffrey probably best, and I've decided that I at least want a fire lizard if I can't have a dragon.  (Grin).  But my first science fiction book I read was by Robert Heinlein.  I'd always thought I'd hate science fiction, but I had a boyfriend who really liked it.  (I was in 7th grade, and I really thought that I needed to read this book that he suggested.  And wow! I liked it.  I think it was Rocket Ship Galileo.

But then I got married and my stepdaughters already baked tons of cookies, and didn't really need for me to bake more.  I miss it, so maybe this year I'll bake cookies anyway.  I can always take them somewhere to share.  Well, I'd best get going, almost time for me to go to bed.  I get up around 4 in the morning to be at work on time.  Take care,    Debby
