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. |
