Great Place For Sci-Fi Book Reviews

Posted by T.S.Garp

If you love a good sci-fi book in your hands, than I suggest checking out this web site for their excellent Sci-fi reviews on new and classic books from authors like Philip K Dick, Arthur C Clarke, Philip Jose Farmer, Joe Haldeman, Roger Zelazny, Frederik Pohl, Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Matheson, and Harlan Ellison. Plus, reviews on Fantasy and Horror novels listed on pages of SFBook.com. If you ever forgot the name of that book you have been trying to find or read it might be on the web site’s extensive list. Kind of cool!

A Great Science Fiction Author Dies

Posted by T.S.Garp

The iconic Ray Bradbury dies at 91. A wonderful writer, a true visionary who could spin tales so full of imagination and brilliance. Some of my personal favorite books by Bradbury are Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Something Wicked This Way Comes, I Sing The Body Electric, The October Country, R is for Rocket and S is for Space. A recipient of the Pulitzer Prize award for lifetime work in fantasy and science fiction literature. His numerous short stories, novels, and screenplays (Moby Dick and The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms) are superb. He joins the list of my all-time favorite writers that I have read over the years who have passed on and left a legacy of awe inspiring words that has made the world a more interesting place with their insight and imagination like Robert A. Heinlein, Author C. Clarke, and Isaac Asimov. Read The Washington Post news article on Bradbury's life. RIP Bradbury - T.S.Garp
