Not bad for a first try. Hurt less by the Poul Anderson pick than I thought I would be; it was the Ellison that killed me.

51

Come check out the new one!

52

Even with major googling, I only got just out of the basement.

Hence, my scientific studies prove that Google sucks :mad:

53

Holy crap, I finally won a feud. Woo-hoo!

54

Wow, I’m 4 ? New record !

55

Top 5! Woot!

56

So I suggested the book that perhaps influenced the film 2001 without mentioning the book of the film itself :dubious:

Averaging out again!

57

Wow sixth place… lots better than I imagined. It’s almost as if liking classic SciFi has finally paid off for me.

58

My own feud and one of my worst finishes. Oh well.

59

Jeez, it’s hard to believe that I was actually trying to do well.

I guess I finally learned that Earth Abides wasn’t written by Varley though!
