There are some stories, novels and ideas I have gotten excited about and that is a god sign. <br /><br />All the best<br />GuyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546069846136464138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898257022341976644.post-33120466744152299152021-08-09T05:35:25.690-07:002021-08-09T05:35:25.690-07:00Thanks sorry to be so long in replying.

I am also struggling with reading these days, especially during the Japanese summer. I've been listening to a lot of podcasts and watching YouTube a lot more. My reading has been limited to comics and manga. I don't know why but I can't seem to finish a book in less than a month. <br /><br />I'm hoping to snap out of it when autumn comes around. Wishing you all the best and looking forward to your next post.<br />GrahamWakizashiGrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861098576910250911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898257022341976644.post-43994289212065581632021-07-01T10:44:24.594-07:002021-07-01T10:44:24.594-07:00My offer still holds Guy!

I have ignored the Dangerous Visions anthologies until now but looking at them the other night I was as interested in Koontz comments and Ellison's introduction to each story as the work itself. They formed interesting time capsules into the science fiction field during this period. Mirrorshades is another one that intrigues me as being indicative of the "cyberpunk" period. Thanks again.<br /><br />All the best<br />GuyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546069846136464138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898257022341976644.post-44387113326550324152021-02-24T11:52:20.257-08:002021-02-24T11:52:20.257-08:00Hi Charles

Whether that is age, the pandemic, or procrastination I cannot saw although I suspect the latter. Certainly our activities have been curtailed a bit but it is probably the inability to visit and spend time with relatives who are older or who have some health problems that is probably the worst part of this. Everyone in our circle has avoided the virus so that is good. I agree that better times are ahead and all I need is a bit more gumption to make the most of this enforced leisure. I cannot complain I am too busy to read. I do enjoy your blog. It is certainly eye opening to see the realities of the publishing industry.<br /><br />All the best<br />GuyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546069846136464138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898257022341976644.post-29167466578495235202021-02-22T18:32:37.848-08:002021-02-22T18:32:37.848-08:00I'd love to read any future reviews of short s...I'd love to read any future reviews of short stories from an anthology. I'd especially enjoy a story-by-story read through the a Dangerous Visions (the first or second) anthologies. Or, just a few select gems. Hold in there!<br /><br />Also, if you ever want to talk via Skype (or Zoom) about a short story, let me know!

I'm lucky in that I was an old stick-in-the-mud before the pandemic, and so it has hardly changed my life at all. I only get out of the house once a week these days to go grocery shopping between 5 and 6 in the morning -- and I rather like that. Maybe I can also thank six months of Wisconsin winter for my tolerance of being stuck inside the house. I am, however, rather embarrassed by how few books I read these days. Blame it on a reduced attention span, or writing books in my head rather than reading them, or just a lack of enough interest to order some up from the library... I don't know. Better times are ahead.Charles Litkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182265039055575093noreply@blogger.com
