Be nice, J.
it is old, though. Look for it in the debates soon, about how everyone wants to write about myspace elves.

You rub off, what can I say?
I'm not a fan of the genre.
The only good piece of lit that came from that genre is Fahrenheit 451.

I hate Fahrenheit 451! But then again, like I said, I like Asimov. His style is bare bones; no decoration, no adornment. On the other hand, Bradbury's language is so rich and metaphorical it bores me.

And more about that statement. What about Frankenstein? End of Eternity? Foundation?

Have you ever read Frankenstein? And no, it's not.

Ugh. Everyone's got an opinion. I'm too tired to battle this out right now.
Have fun writing, ModernPro.
