I don't remember when I started reading SF regularly. I remember borrowing Jules Verne's _20,000 Leagues Under the Sea_ from the elementary school library and not being able to finish it; that would have been somewhere around '69-71. The earliest SF book I can remember finishing is Madeleine L'Engle's _A Wrinkle in Time_. In the mid-70's my favorite was Isaac Asimov's _Foundation_ trilogy, which I read all three books of in as many days. In my freshman year of college in '77, I got a Work-Study job as an operator for the Carnegie-Mellon University Computer Science Department, where I discovered several years' worth of back issues of _Analog_ shelved under one of the machine room desks. The most recent SF I recall reading was probably Timothy Zahn's _Conqueror's_ trilogy.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

[Deathstalker]

"And what the hell would you know about sanity?" demanded Beatrice. "There are depressed lemmings on the edge of cliffs who've got a better grasp on reality than you have. And more common sense."--Simon R. Green 'Deathstalker Rebellion'.

"We are all...the sum of our scars"....(paraphrased) Matt. R. Stover-'Blade of Tyshalle'.
