Happy New Year!
Happy Vintage Science Fiction month!
Are you ready to rock ‘n roll for a month full of stellar patrols, pulp adventure, martian princesses, futuristic predictions and sword and sorcery*? Grab yourself the image above to use as a badge if you’re so inclined, tweet with #VintageSciFiMonth, shake up a gin** and tonic, and let’s party like it’s nineteen thirty nine!
As you post articles and book reviews on your blog, toss a link up in the Vintage SciFi tab up top, so we can all visit you.
* Yes, I am playing fast and loose with the definition of “science fiction”. I LOVES me some sword and sorcery.
** did I really just say gin? ewwww, icky!

Of course they count! I’ve read only the 1st in that series and really enjoyed it. Everything in books 1-6 is pre-1979, I guess there is a sort of 7th volume that’s got some stuff from the 80s.

Hmm, Gin. I like to mix it with a bit of vermouth, and a lot of olive brine. Damn good.
Oh, this post wasn’t about gin?

I am enjoying a G&T as I type these very words, save for afternoon tea and cucumber sandwiches it is surely the very apex of human civilization. Savages and barbarians, the lot of you.
(Does this mean Earthsea would count? I mean if we’re throwing propriety out the window and all…)
