Readers interested in science fiction literature, particularly those who enjoy discussions about classic and contemporary works, may find this thread engaging.
Mine was supposed to be for what ever sort of fiction or even non-fiction that was for entertainment reading. I'll have to find it and maybe ressurect it.Evo said:Yes history and more classical literature. We have no appropriate place anymore for science fiction and other genres. I personally LOVE science fiction.
We used to have a forum where we could discuss books. I miss that.
