Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Masterpieces edited by Orson Scott Card


This is a collection of works by well known science fiction writers.   They are all short stories. Apparently, Card, if he made the collection, wanted to focus on darkness instead of light.   Too many of the stories dealt with a lack of hope.   The search for intelligent life that was unsuccessful.  The frustration of looking for home.  Frankly I’ve found scifi more hopeful than these stories illustrated.  The one light side was the aggressive invasion of our planet by beings that found themselves grossly out classed in aggression.


The stories were interesting but I prefer more hope in my scifi.


This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
