Remember this thread?

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

Death, poverty and want are no more. Money has been replaced with "woofie" which is a measure of an individual's prestige. You earn woofie by taking on projects for the betterment of mankind. In this case, restoring Disney World to it's past splendor. This book is a trip.

How about a horror sub-genre next?

OCCULT

Location: UK		I certainly do,Dave.I disappeared for a month for my eye op,and no one posted.It looked a bit pushy to tell people off for not posting,so I let it go,but I always enjoyed it,and if you come online and there are no new posts,at least this keeps the group ticking over.So wake up people!
Occult? Has anyone read James Blish Black Easter? I hadnt known he wrote horror.

Location: UK		Lol! I LOVE Barlennan.It was so funny when he was raised up onto the human's walker,and was frozen with fright,though his team just thought he was being a ''tough caterpillar''.One of my all time science fiction favourites.

next - alternate history

Location: Sacramento, California		Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus (1996) by Orson Scott Card. That was a good read. It was both a time travel novel, and an alternate history story.

Next up, robots/androids!
