![]() And that doesn't take away from the trilogy factor; I think of it mostly as 3 being a more dramatic number. It just works well for a certain type of epic story which is often told in sci fi and fantasy. I'm actually thinking of writing one myself, eventually (though I'm also planning to get back to Kristina about a fiver; that'll come first, promise). Have you read Clarke's 2001 series Zeke? They're all pretty great (except for the third, which is okay, but ah well). Check 'em out if you haven't.[/color ![]()

![]() As for fiving books, count me out of the Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy (not that anyone offered to count me in). Fiving them would require reading them again *shudder*. I wouldn't mind trying my hand at something Clarkian, assuming there's anything left once the stafff get finished with their picks (and I don't have a DS9 fiver in progress).[/color ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Literature-ish stuff just happens by threes. I think it's a standard number or something. Three brothers; three different attempts to win the day; three different stereotypes walk into a bar. I guess it's just what we're used to. To continue with the idle speculation for the moment, I admit that for some time I've been idly considering asking a General Trek mod over at TrekBBS to run a poll asking posters how many books they've read, just to see (among other things) whether there would even be much of a target audience for Trek book fivers. One reason why I haven't bothered yet is that I can guess what sort of response I'd probably get, based on the relatively low level of activity in the Literature forum there. ![]() ![]()
