I don't come by often...because I'm reading. I'm currently reading Desires and Designs, a fantasy novel by K.J. Parker. Next on my list is Retro-KM by Edward Uzzle, then Raggamuffin, by Tobias S. Bucknell. --- On Fri, 4/17/09, ravenadal wrote: From: ravenadal Subject: [SciFiNoir Lit] ...is anybody reading ANYTHING?

I own and recommend "Raggamuffin" and Mr. Uzzle used to hang around these environs. ~rave! --- In SciFiNoir_Lit@yahoogroups.com, Milton Davis wrote: > > I don't come by often...because I'm reading.

[SciFiNoir Lit] Fwd: Searching for Telepathic Children novel (not Wyndham)
-- From: "David Wright" CC: Subject: Searching for Telepathic Children novel (not Wyndham) Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:36:19 -0700 Hello SF-Litties I have a book ID question that requires some additional help and sleuthing. Here is is: "I am looking for a book that I believe I read in the 1980's. It involved several women who were all mothers, and suddenly their children started communicating with each other telepathically. When the children "spoke" mind-to-mind, the writing was in italics. By the end of the book, everyone was speaking in italics, or telepathically. I originally thought that it was a Doris Lessing book, but don't believe it is. It could be a science fiction book/author. Do you have any suggestions? I have tried Novelist, and my library's copy of Strictly Science Fiction and searched under "telepathy". I have also done general google searches using keywords like "children, telepathy, science fiction novel." There are quite a few science fiction novels involving children or aliens and telepathy, but we have yet to locate one to match this description. Some findings so far: Wyndham's "Midwich Cuckoos" and McCaffrey's "The Rowan." Any help appreciated! Thanks!

[SciFiNoir Lit] Re: Jose Phillip Farmer
Thanks for the info. This is the second time I heard of contests running afoul of their intended goal. I'm glad he eventually got it out there, but it sounds kinda sad it took so long.
