I can't. It's been more than two decades since I read those books. And given my seemingly ever-diminishing time for books in conjunction with bookshelves that keep filling up with books I've yet to read, I can't justify doing a re-read of even some of my all-time favorites. That depresses me sometimes.


I thank you in advance.
Btw, you and your husband still working on those stories?
Wow, you remember that?

My mistake. I-330 was all about the cause, so I think she had ulterior motives from the get-go. While she might have developed some feelings for him as they spent more and more time together, I don't think love would be what I'd call it. She was just too hardcore. She was also the most individuated character in the book, which is a good part of what made her so alluring. Everybody else was the go-along-to-get-along type. Sheeple. Bah! And yes, D-503 was brainwashed. Hmm, actually, that might not be quite right. I don't think he started out with a strong enough sense of self to qualify for being brainwashed. When he finally did, it was a tumor to be removed. Dammit! You're making me think.

LOL! That's what I'm hear for, dear!

The problem with post-apocalyptic stories is that there are so many which are utter crap.

I never thought of the Forever War as Dystopian but I guess it could be called that
