ken_schneyer asks:
1. What do you think of The Time Traveler's Wife?
I'm about to lose some Spec Fic street cred here, but, I still haven't read this book! It's on my list, but it may be awhile before I get to it.
2. When did you last get so sucked into a story you were reading that you completely forgot to notice the technique?

3. LeGuin or Haldeman, and why?
Ack! I suppose I lean a little toward LeGuin because I love several of her short pieces, though I think Haldeman is the better Spec Fic poet. I think they both have books that I can read again and again.
4. What did you keep?
The thing I needed most.
5. What's your favorite alternate history story?
Though I have to give serious nods to Dick's The Man in the High Castle and Ford's The Dragon Waiting: A Masque of History, I do love me some Roger Zelazny, so for me it's Roadmarks.
6. How would you resolve the Michigan-Florida-Obama-Clinton-delegate-indecision conundrum?
I dislike the idea of disenfranchising the voters of these states because their stupid state officials couldn't get their act together. I think the states should be allowed to caucus, which is cheaper to organize than an actual primary. I also think the Secretary of State or whoever is ultimately in charge of elections in those two states should be taken out and publicly flogged.
7. Who would you most like to recall from the dead and unleash on our unsuspecting world?
This is going to sound really strange coming from me, since I fell out with organized religion of any type years ago, and while I'm still a very spiritual person in private, I don't much care for or need whatever it is any group is selling.
So, if he really did live and walk the earth, I'd like to recall Jesus Christ, mostly because I'd like to invite him over for a cup of coffee and discussion concerning That Book and his Dad's earthly flock.
