I'm not worry about order either. I doing the books I can get on audio first, and then ebook, and if I still can't find them, I'll track down a paper copy. How popular is science fiction in Namibia?


Yeh, for me it's also in order of audiobook first and then the rest.

I live in a rural farming area where SF is actually non-existent. I have to go to the main town Windhoek or the coastal town Swakopmund to find anything SF related. I've been donating some of my double copies to the local library and sad to say that the only SF in this library is what I've provided. Judging by the modern fantasy series I can still find in WIndhoek and Swakopmund, it's safe to assume some people do read our genre, but I haven't found ANY classics from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s in any shop yet. So, I guess SF proper is not all that popular here. And ... farmers do not really read :-)
