ost_uid0]Yeah, that'd be me. [i
ost_uid0]I Will Fear No Evil[/i
ost_uid0] was a really, really awful book. I don't really know why I forced myself to finish it (wasn't an assignment or anything). Other Heinlein stuff has just never clicked for me. Even when the premise is good, his style is bad.
But I've noticed that my SF literary tastes are most agreeable with books published between 1930-1960. A lot of the negative utopia style books like [i
ost_uid0]Fahrenheit 451[/i
ost_uid0], [i
ost_uid0]1984[/i
ost_uid0], [i
ost_uid0]Brave New World[/i
ost_uid0], as well as Tolkein, Lewis, some Asimov, and a lot of the other early stuff as scifi was just getting off the ground.[/color
