Location: Austin, Tx		I have finally finished. My last book, Dorsai! by Gordon R Dickson, was a terrible way to end what was mostly a positive experience. I found Dorsai! to be dull. Donal Graeme, the protagonist, didn't seem to encounter anything that he couldn't intuit his way out of. I never felt like he might fail. That's before the awful last chapter. And on top of that, lots of really outdated sentiments on a woman's place in the universe.

Looking back on it, I am so glad to have read The Martian Chronicles, I Am Legend, and The Stars My Destination. Additionally, I"m glad to have found the short fiction of Richard Matheson (at the back of my copy of I Am Legend) and William Tenn.
