[net.sf-lovers] New topic for net.sf

I am really tired of reading about whether Dr. Who deserves his own news
group and what it should be called.  Why don't we try to discuss some
Science Fiction instead of net nonsense?
To that end the rest of this entry.  I recently finished reading "The
News Sun" series of books by Gene Wolfe.  I can only echo the capsule
reviews found around the cover of the last book in the series.  This
work has been praised by many and varied sources from U.K. LeGuinn to
the N.Y. Times.  I found the work to have several interesting
attributes.  There was some character development, especially in the
main character/narator.  The story was sometimes confusing but it was
always riviting.  There are 4 books in this series and I had great
difficulty in putting any of them down.  The only warning I can give is
that you really must read this work at least twice in order to get the
full impact.
