Am currently re-reading some old favorite graphic novels: Ronin by Frank Miller; League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (ignore the movie, this is the real deal) by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. And if I had a copy of From Hell (also Alan Moore) I'd be reading it too.  
...religion has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in the early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle ecplipses with such care that in time they were able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others

I recently finished reading "Bolo" by David Weber.  I'll read anything he cares to write, though.  I think he's very good.  As always, that was a great book.  Now I have to wait for him to write something else.  Darn!!!

Ah. Do Androids... is one of my favorites. I even wrote a sequel to it for a sci-fi lit class. When I get a little bit of money in my pocket again, I'm going to get a collection of Philip K. Dick books.

Did you publish the sequel?  If so, where can I find it?

I thought it would be, but the further I get into it, the more bored I become.  He tries too hard to be funny.  It gets tiresome after a while.

  How is your book, Lise?  Does it contain dragons?

 I like david weber as well. Which bolo did you read by weber? Theres like four 'bolo' books out by him. One of them has a compilation of two, but they arent complete.

  To be honest you are the first person Ive 'talked' to that has read and has similar tastes to me.

  Which other books do you read that are similar, if you do.

  EDIT: forgot to put what Im currently reading. Sad as it is, cause Im back in school studying Im reading Instrumentation and Control by Reeds series of marine engineering.

I've been a science fiction addict since I was 12.  Everything from fantasy to hard science to military fiction.  I've read the first book, and plan to get the rest later.  I've put in a request at the library, but there are several reservations ahead of me.  I've read all the Honor Harrington series and thoroughly enjoyed them.

No dragons in my book as yet but enchantress, warriors and the lot. A tad childish for my taste but the book was in my  husband's old collection so I thought I'd give it a try.
