    Melancholy Elephants, by Spider Robinson

    As a lawyer who spends a lot of time on line with fellow book lovers I am frequently asked for my opinion on copyright matters. Sadly I am not an expert in the field. I know one or two of those guys who practice Intellectual Property (”IP”) law, and I have to say honestly that it takes a certain...

    Variable Star

    -Heinlein's outline developed by Spider Robinson. Supposedly in the style of Heinlein (I can't say, not too familiar with him). Only about a third into it, now, it seems a bit long winded. But this probably isn't fair to say just yet. I'm at the point where the Sheffield is taking off, on...

    Telempath

    Found this one very cheap at a local second-hand store. Haven't read it yet, though. Has anyone else read it? What do you think of it? I apparently is his debut novel, and not at all similar to his later Callahan series.

    A challenge for the members here...

    I challenge any one of you to read one of Spider Robinson's books and not smile. Anyone up for it? :D Sure, they're a little 'touchy-feely', but that is also one of the best parts...who will step up to the plate?

    Lady Slings the Booze

    My latest haul from Amazon includes this title by Robinson. I've read it before (I'm attempting to get the whole series in my collection) but it is a very good book. It's a good bet this will be the first I'll read in this bunch. Robinson always makes me feel good and I could use it right now.

    Robinson, Spider: Gotta get the ball rolling round here sometime.

    Thank god for Spider Robinson. Where else can I read about characters from my own home town, Halifax, that are involved in black takeovers of New York City or time-traveling telepaths from beyond the grave, loveingly written in flourishing hippie-script ("to corn a phrase") and so painfully...
