same

grandpa gave it to me

Cool I should check them out

@Lucario that book makes me think of that commercial from Progressive. Who else reads books about Submarines? Ueah I know it is about planes

It is a very good book

I am sure. I like that kind of book myself but for some reason it made me think of that commercial

Which does everyone prefer, medieval style fantasy (example: The Lord Of The Rings) or sci-fi style fantasy (example: Star Wars)?

Personally I’m a sci-fi fantasy guy, especially when it comes to Star Wars.

I like both but I lean more towards the traditional fantasy realm

I grew up playing D&D

Back before it went all SJW

Ah, interesting

Same here, when it comes to liking both. But I've I've always leaned towards sci-fi

Which medium? Books or movies? @Spectre

Movie: space opera. Books: standard or even high fantasy

I don't feel that the mysticism in Star Wars detracts from it

The same as the lack there of in Star Trek doesn't either from Trek

My sci fi tastes vary

A good story is a good story

I like a lot of Alternate reality stuff and steam punk

If you think about it HG Wells' stuff is now considered steampunk

Very true

When he wrote it it was Sci fi

I have developed a liking for The Doc Savage stories and John Carter stuff as well

Ever read “1000 years War”?

No

Basically about a never ending war because neither side can travel the universe quick enough to surrender

Oh I have heard of it

Its got some very relatable points to today

Have you ever read anything by Harry Turtledove?

Not familiar. But my brain purges. Ill have to look hom up

He wrote a lot of Alternate realities

He wrote a series called the World War series where during World War 2 and alien invasion happens

Right up my alley

The aliens assumed by their intelligence that Earth was in medieval times

A bit “Man in the High Castle” but with ET?

But they had sleeper ships also and they progressed slower than humans did

So when they arrived the humans had aircraft ect

Oooh! Its now on my list

My favorite stories by him are the Southern Victory series where teh South won the Civil War
