a) I had been reading SF for a while when I was introduced to Anthony in
the early 80's, but actully, I think a lot of readers of our generation
probably tried him then. And at least that was when he was writing
reasonably well.
b) Thanks for talking about the kind of SF that I like much more
articulately than I could!
