Pay for this?

After jumping through all these hoops - do you actually expect people to pay for this crap?

I'd rather see the Foundation Trilogy.....[Asimov]...
AngelEyez....the trick with merging into a 'click', or 'clique'....
...is to 'lurk'. Lurking is good, getting to know the ins and outs of Site politics, whatever, then, when you do pop into a conversation you're not playing 'off-side' [Soccer reference, how timely], with your size 10 firmly inserted in your mouth....
But social interaction...getting to know people, and they, you, is beneficial to all. I don't really understand the mind-set of the 'distant downloader' who apparently has only interest in the skins, themes, etc, and yet ignores the very creators of those items who surely could give enlightenment and assistance. I guess it's just 'each to his own'...

Chris....why is it that Authors cannot count? They're literate, lucid, intelligent....but just fail to understand the concept of 'trilogy'...

All this talk of books has reminded me of a series of books I read many years ago. It was called the "Riverworld" series, and the first book was "To your scattered bodies go".
I loved that series, has anyone else read it?

Yep. That's Farmer. He also wrote a series of novels called The World of Tiers.

Boxxi, they reissued those books as two trade size paperbacks within the past few years. I vaguely remember it had something to do with floating worlds/islands/landmasses and your action hero/protagonist having adventures among them.

We need to remember that only a very small amount of the total visitors to this (or any) site use the message board. Whatever the reason is, it's a fact that most of the people that come here (maybe 90% or more) don't post in here. I'm sure a lot of them read some of this though...
I haven't read any scifi for years... now that you've mentioned it I kinda miss the other worlds...

craeonics only reads Fantasy (and xenoarchaeology and esotheric stuff)
craeonics takes note: "rumour has it that I contribute. Let them think that for now"
