I take my science fiction and fantasy very seriously, heh (thesis work).

Actually, they’re also part of my–albeit premature–attempt to create a syllabus for a Science Fiction course. You see, Rutgers–Camden offers the course, but according to the English department’s secretary, she can’t remember the last time it was taught. So I’ve taken to reading these, as well as the classics–Bradbury, Clarke, Asimov, Le Guin, and whatever else the course description mentions–in my efforts to pretend I already am a teacher and design a course (which will, btw, include “middle school” and “new school” writers, not just old school ones: Philip K. Dick, Iain M. Banks, Octavia E. Butler, recent short story collections, and Richard K. Morgan if I can squeeze him in).

Yeeup. This is what I do with my spare time.
