I was never big on the Smoking Mirrors type stuff, just not my cup of tea, but Origami...wow. Depending on where you are in your life, his early work is life changing material. I agree his audience has widened and his content has changed. I'm glad to see that many people connecting with that sort of material. I still go back and read his older stuff from time to time.Ben Therehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552547709669462400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8335611828023778237.post-43510271912352201532011-06-29T23:32:28.461-07:002011-06-29T23:32:28.461-07:00Mmmm...

Favourite fiction books...<br /><br />Stopped reading fiction when I was about 20.<br />Biggles series (ex British WWII flying ace), Mark Corrigan series (007 type), LotR (of course), devoured SF (Galaxy, Nebula, etc.).<br /><br />From then and overlapping all non-fiction – Science; loved Astronomy, Cosmology and Earth Sciences, People Sciences (read and liked Jung).<br /><br />Now - Current Affairs and Science.<br /><br />When I first read Les' work I told him I hadn't read anything like his writings (nothing had excited me like his work) since my sf days. His content has changed since then as his goal was to reach a wider audience; he has achieved that.<br /><br />TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
