Looking for tweets for stars.

oroboros Definitely! One of my fondest memories from my SciFi days. Also, though it's got nothing to do with Alfred Bester's books, I recommend The Veils of Azlaroc by Fred Saberhagen. Unusual and thought provoking. See (a somewhat jaundiced) review at: http://www.i-reports.info/b/B199201.html Oct 13, 2007
seanahan I've been meaning to read that book, do you recommend it? Oct 13, 2007
