<This line is for Lucy Fisher> One of my favorite authors is Clifford D. Simak and one of my favorite books by him is -Way Station-. One of the reasons I like Simak is because he writes good prose: This was the Earth, he thought-a planet made for Man. But not for Man alone, for it was as well a planet for the fox and owl and weasel, for the snake, the katydid, the fish, for all the other teeming life that filled the air and earth and water. And not for these natives alone, but for other beings that called other earths their home, other planets that far light-years distant were basically the same as Earth. For Ulysses and the Hazers and all the rest of them who could live upon this planet, if need be, if they wished, with no discomfort and no artificial aids. Tom Crawford

Someone mentiond ths author a few weeks ago and I'm just now getting
around to confirming that he has other fans on the net. In fact I've
just finished rereading (most of) the sixteen or so of his novels I
possess, and I7Ve come (once again) to the conclusion that he is perhap
my favourite SF author. Favourite books would, I guess, rather
obviously be "City" and "Way Station" - the two Hugo winners as I
recall. I would also recommend most of his other books (described as
"pastoral" or "bucolic" by many) - escpecially "Time is the Simplest
Thing" "Ring Around th Sun" and "Mastodonia". Does anyone out there
have a Simak bibliography? (Jayembee?).
