Hi Alec! I just mentioned;the chronicles,that`s all! But truely,D.Adams was so funny-it was simply impossible to put his books down-(even Dirk Gentry).Asimov grabbed me the same way tho-couldn`t stop reading his stories/literature/text books. Not that I read a lot during high school.but I read my way thru my tiny local library.Not generator room talk tho-it should be grunts & wheezes& machine speak! smiley - cheers I`m going up-stairs~ smiley - hug Neugen smiley - bigeyes

Ta!! smiley - cheers
DNA was a major force in the genre of humorous sci-fi. I also greatly enjoyed Kurt Vonnegut, Keith Laumer, and Poul Anderson.

Laumer wrote a series of novels satirizing the diplomatic corps. The hero, Retief was always preventing wars and such on alien planets through direct action as a very junior member of the corps whist his superiors considered whether to send a "strongly worded memo" or the much more serious "firm note", while attending indiginous nose flute concerts.

The ability to make one laugh (sometimes at its-self) is the best proof of IQ that I can find;if you can`t laugh at yourself-kiss IQ`s- behind-it`s certainly not mine! Asimov & DA made me laugh,& in so doing,taught me it`s ok to laugh at yourself-look at those who take themselves soooo seriously-not my cup of tea! Neugen smiley - bigeyes
