1. Cool

I couldn't resist looking myself up in it. I'm so ashamed. No, I'm not.

2. Oh Wow - that is GREAT!

I've got an ancient printed version but this blows that completely out of the water. I'm looking forward to finding missed SF masterpieces!

I know I use the website http://stopyourekillingme.com to keep up with my favorite mystery authors and have wished for a similar site for SF writing for years.

Thank you!

3. oh, thats sweet

They even have my favorite mystery author, Chesbro:

http://stopyourekillingme.com/C_Authors/Chesbro_George.html

His books are not well known and he often gets left out but it's great stuff.

Edit - A lot of his stuff is really a cross between sci-fi and mystery. His best is The Beast of Valhalla about a mad scientist that wants to de-evolve mankind in order to prevent it's extinction.

4. It's a nice site - I try to click through to Amazon from them

Hoping to give them ad revenues, though I usually don't buy from Amazon.
