continued with other reading;
reread earlier posts;
copied three of them onto the Poul Anderson's Cosmic Environments blog.
I will shortly watch Doctor Who because I so rarely do. The new series is disappointing regular fans so might possibly contain something of interest and might lead to yet more, unfavorable, comparisons with Poul Anderson's time travel canon.
I will check back here in due course.
Later: Doctor Who - forget it.

Hi, Paul!
Other reading? I hope you give S.M. Stirling's works a shot! He too is a fan of Poul Anderson and sometimes mentions various of his works in his own stories. Or has some very Andersonian turns of phrase in them.

Sean,
I am still on Bryan Talbot's ALICE IN SUNDERLAND, which bears careful rereading.
131 page views yesterday despite my minimal input. More about ALICE... will go on Comics Appreciation.

Hi, Paul!
I will read what you about Talbot's book. On the principle that we should read other writers besides those of our favorites.
Talbot? I know that's the name of one of the oldest surviving families in the British aristocracy, the one holding the Earldom of Shrewsbury. Any relation, I wonder?
Sean
Sean,
Bryan wonders exactly the same! His father, grandfathers and great-grandfathers were coal miners.
Paul.
Hi, Paul!
For all we know Mr. Talbot might be descended from a very distant branch of the Shrewsbury Talbots. Stranger things have happened! (Smiles)
And have you ever talked about Poul Anderson with Bryan Talbot? And, if so, what has he said?
Sean
Sean,
Unfortunately, I don't know him that well. Have met him on 3 occasions and might do again next year.

Hi, Paul!
Darn! I was hoping Bryan Talbot, as well as S.M. Stirling, might be another writer who sometimes drop by here!

Posts to come on Ridenour and Freehold.
