Stuff I've forgotten recently (4.3)

Oh yeah - knew I'd left something out, oh well makes for another post doesn't it?!

Analog Magazine, June 2008 edition - Stanley Schmitd

A nice collection of short science fiction writing once again. I got this on import from America in Borders and thought it'd be nice to see what Sci-Fi is up to in modern times. There was also "Asimov's" magazine, but the presence of Sci-Fi big hitter Ben Bova prompted me to get Analog and give it a whirl. There was a very nice and diverse colection of stories from time travel to asteroid mining each one making good and interesting reading. The sciency editorials are a bit over my head, but still interesting to read. With the exception of an immature anti-God poem, the sentiment seems harboured in the magazine a little too often and detracts from the "science based" ethos it seeks to present.

Well there ya go, a bit more from my shelf - enjoy!
