I have just posted YAR (Yet Another Review). I am willing to keep doing this on an infrequent basis if anyone is interested. How about some words of encouragement, and some comments about what you'd like to see. - only hardcover reviews - only review new books - change in format or content - etc. P.S. I am planning on reading "Mammoth Hunters", "Eros Descending", "Bio of a Space Tyrant - IV", "Flux and Anchore IV", and Brust's new book Real Soon Now :-) (Possibly over the Xmas break). -- Stephen Perelgut Computer Systems Research Institute, University of Toronto

I think that the best things about (net).sf-lovers are the reviews and subsequent discussion; both for new books - so that i can look out (or avoid!) them - and for golden oldies. I for one would like to see much more reviews and discussions of _books_ in this new newsgroup. Also i would welcome discussion on interesting themes within science fiction (the net has discussed immortality, time travel, faster than light travel, the biology of aging etc. etc. and i found them all worthwhile). Hopefully we can, through consensus now, avoid the fate of net.sf-lovers. As a step in the right direction a review of Brin's _The Postman_ follows. On a slightly different tack - this is the end of term for those of us at school and so i would expect that the net traffic would drop quite considerably around this time. Lack of immediate response to articles does not necessarily signify apathy, please give us more reviews! greg. -- gjerawlins%watdaisy@waterloo.csnet 1-519-884-3852 Gregory J. E.

Yes, Your reviews ARE worthwhile. Keep 'em coming. This would also keep the flow of ont.sf-lovers, and probably create some discussions.
