...@ Heather - Bradbury's shorts are fantastic.<br /><br />@ Laura- I love your science fiction shorts- don't care which genre they are- they are great.<br /><br />@ Helen- I am looking forward to it for the same reason.<br /><br />@ Margot- there are far too many sub-genres out there, aren't there?<br /><br />@ Amber- if you are struggling, it must be difficult indeed. I am in awe of your skills.<br /><br />@ Tina- I knew you would be a huge sci-fic fan! I just knew it.<br /><br />@ Talli- life was easier then.<br /><br />@ Leigh- yes, when you know the author, it is different.<br /><br />@ Elspeth- that does sound dangerous.<br /><br />@ KarenG- those were the days!<br /><br />@ Yvonne - me too.<br /><br />@ Alex- if you have a problem too, it must be quite a problem.<br /><br />@ Stephanie- I am not a huge fan of book trailers either, but this one looks like a movie trailer.<br /><br />@ Jemi- you write streampuke, don't you? <br /><br />@ Ellie- quite. And I am definitely reading it<br /><br />@ SueAnn- that was a lovely movieNatashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-43001869031381603802010-07-21T20:52:00.455+05:302010-07-21T20:52:00.455+05:30I love Science Fiction...all genre!

Dick wrote some awesome science fiction...Minority Report, the book that became Total Recall, etc. There was a book that Stephen Spielberg produced into a movie starring Haley Joel Osment, AI.

Funny...It's a fantastic trailer, isn't it?<br /><br />Funny, I never thought about it, but you're right.

I hear what you're saying here, but for me, I don't much care if they sub-categorize.

I've started adding them to my reviews because they are familiar to others and I'm trying to learn them. At least, if it's going to be this way, Goodreads or somewhere needs to classify them clearly somewhere because half the time I feel like I'm giving books the wrong label!Amber at The Musings of ALMYBNENRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963815851597145235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041251042986195891.post-67081600738928788122010-07-20T18:58:49.719+05:302010-07-20T18:58:49.719+05:30Rayna - You make such an interesting point about t...Rayna - You make such an interesting point about the proliferation of sub-genres.
