potentialities

There was some stuff I really didn't like - I've discovered that I don't like Greg Egan much, or at least I didn't then, and also Octavia Butler didn't do anything for me either. But we read Startide Rising, by David Brin, which I really enjoyed (although I haven't gone on to read anything else by him). Oh, and Starship Troopers. We had some interesting discussions about that, and really about most of the other books - there were a few of us that really liked to debate in that class. :D

Oh, and we also read The Left Hand of Darkness, which has since become one of my top 3 favourite books (Pride and Prejudice and the Sherlock Holmes canon are the other two).

I took another class later with the same prof, and read some other very weird things. This one was the strangest, and it's about (surprise) a voyage to Arcturus. It was originally published in 1920 and is really proto-SF, I guess. But it was certainly an interesting read, although it left me thinking 'huh?" at the end.
