I haven't posted much lately, due to lack of time. However, so much
discussion of SF film rather than literature doesn't necessarily bother me.
Still, it is interesting to note that back when some of us were discussing
the film Armageddon, several on the list did complain about too much focus
on that topic. So I have wondered why it's alright to discuss film now,
when it wasn't only a few months ago. Maybe we've all changed some?
It would be great to discuss SF literature on a regular basis. But I think
the field is now so broad that to discuss a particular work (especially
when it's new fiction) may not draw all that many comments or for very
long. Maybe we could select a few SF titles each month and then those who
were interested in discussing the books could do so. That way, we would
have at least several ongoing message threads about specific books at any
given time.
