These two authors always get twisted together in my mind, simply because of the
similiarity of the names (Poul/Pohl) -- anyway, I like Anderson, but I LOVE
Pohl. His work has that human quality that makes it science fiction LITERATURE
(okay, now we can argue about my terminology, but I'll stick by it). Anyway,
Pohl is another author we don't talk about too much as belonging among the
greats, but he's in my pantheon...
Umberto, you're thinking of H.Beam Piper's Fuzzies. He wrote some other stuff
(Lord Calvin of Otherwhen, etc. -- Mike posted a bunch of titles a few months
ago). By now you know that the Hoka books were written by others...
Oh, and Lela, "wank" is a British term for masturbation.
There, I think I've covered all the errant thoughts that arose from this
morning's posts. Well, I guess it's back to the salt mines for me...
