  14. I can't stand to read anything anymore unless it's well-written and has
  15. some sort of style...Half of what comes out today is so generic it could
  16. be anonymous.  Nor can I stand "space operas" anymore, after reading
  17. cyberpunk.  Yeah, I realize that they've got different purposes, come
  18. from different times and backgrounds, but I've just picked up this thing
  19. for well-written realism...
