Now reading the Bulldog Drummond novel "Knock-out" by Sapper/Cyril McNeil and the short story collection "A New Dawn. The Don A Stuart Stories" by John W. Campbell Jr. The former a predecessor of sorts to James Bond, The Saint and Doc Savage.
Finished the Sapper novel. Good page-turner.
Also finished the space opera novel "The Cosmic Engineers" by Clifford D. Simak from 1939 (his 1st novel). A great read with lots of Sense-of-Wonder, probably one of the best of this sub-genre.
Quote:
The latter is by the writer and editor who inspired Asimov, Heinlein and other great SF-writers, and the movie "The Thing" by John Carpenter.
Still reading it.
"Batman is only meaningful as an answer to a world which in its basics is chaotic and in the hands of the wrong people, where no justice can be found. I think it's very suitable to our perception of the world's condition today... Batman embodies the will to resist evil" -Frank Miller
"Conan, what's the meaning of life?" "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women!" -Conan the Barbarian
"Well, yeah." -Jason E. Perkins
