You would diss the land that gave you just about every great SF writer
in the canon?

I was getting Asimov and Heinlein from the Young Adults section of the
library when I was 5.

have been desperate for something to read, if I picked up a book I'd not
liked the firsdt time around.
Yes, Heinlein went a bit (or a lot) odd. His early stuff is still some of
the best S-F ever written though. I'm so glad you called it S-F not sci-fi ...
*Old World eh? I take it you're one of those damned colonial revolutionary
chappies then? Eh, what?

Would "Old World" be better?

I stopped reading SF cold turkey when Heinlein became a hippie (a
right-wing hippie, no less) -- I even tried Neuromancer because it was
so highly acclaimed but couldn't get even a few pages into it.
