Aside: I've just seen jlsjls' signature quote, and am much amused.


Always glad to have provided amusement. :atwink The quote is from the second book in Piper's Fuzzy trilogy: "Fuzzy Sapiens". Which I now have an urge to re-read ... been far too long since I've had that trio out of the bookcase.

His Fuzzy Sapiens books are good, worth a reread. I've read John Scalzi's Fuzzy Nation sequel, which updated things slightly but kept close to Piper's original.

Piper's short story, Naudsonce, is also a favorite. There was a large collection of his Future Human stories in PB in the 80's, that I hope I still have.

LOL, there is probably more truth to that quote than we want to know. :D Though of course, there was more to it than that.

For some reason I've never gotten into Scalzi's writing. Might just be needing to be in the correct state of brain ... I know that Le Guin's "Left Hand of Darkness" took me several aborted tries over about a decade and a half and then suddenly I couldn't put it down. So possibly one day the same will happen with Scalzi ..

But today was a well-deserved fairly lazy day happily spent in the original Fuzzy universe ... started with "Little Fuzzy", and am currently about a third of the way through "Fuzzy Sapiens". Just paused for a moment now because I just reached the statement about English and wanted to edit my sig to quote it correctly while I had the book at that page ... the version I had had was from a quotes site and I always had the notion it wasn't quite right (like I said, far too long since I'd last read these books); I much prefer it as actually written by Piper.
