why not? i think my problem is i just can't remove that context, and it starts ruining the read for me as all I can do is project ulterior motives onto every thing they write. but i can also put it into context if there's something I'm trying to get out of the reading. In this case I was just looking for some quick entertainment. the present information pretty much ruined the possibility of that.

I figured based on the summaries I'd read it seemed like it could only go good for two books without getting to the punch and the third one seemed like it hadn't happened yet. but i was good for the first two.

yeah not so surprisingly sf writers seem to think the internet is theirs to say as they please. i'm kinda wishing i hadn't opened this door because now i feel like i have to be more diligent in what's generally just my casual fun reading.

incidentally knowing the wright books would you recommend anything?
