As opposed to the "run of the mill" sf trash? I read far more sf than mystery, but just as there is good sf, there is good mystery, and in particular, just as there is bad mystery, there is bad sf. Which brings up the next step. net.movies has been talking about "bad" films, what do you consider to be some of the worst sf written? You know, the stuff written by authors that know nothing about the field but just want to cash in (or maybe the stuff written by authors who do know about the field, but just want to cash in). Certainly the Gor series has gotten a lot of time on the net, but what about various Conan rip-offs, bad space opera (Battlefield Earth?), etc. -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!eric
