Lisa and I took a break yesterday and saw Logan Lucky. Afterward, we read reviews and talked about the film. On the whole, I’ll say it was worth seeing, though I didn’t like it as much as I wanted to like it. I think it has some specific flaws, and I don’t think it really […]

Read More ...Algis Budrys, Starflight, and Moonscapes
I was amused this morning in that interesting nostalgic way you can get sometimes, when I read Dean Wesley Smith’s blog post that attributed his interest in doing the Moonscapes bundle to his reading of Algis Budrys’ Rogue Moon.
