[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] 2 cents: I read at least as much "literary" SF as I do "tie-in" SF. I see no harm in reading either. There's no law that says people who read Trek books can't like Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Gaiman, Bear, Forward, Chalker, Lewis, Saberhagen, Niven, Pournelle, Brin, etc. etc. (to name a smattering of the books on my non-Trek shelves. My local bookstore's SF section is 8 shelves tall by about 9' wide. The bottom 2 shelves are media tie-in. Much of the rest is taken up by Fantasy, which IMHO shouldn't be lumped in with SF (Thus, Gilgamesh and other pre-science-based stories aren't SF) The Eugenics Wars is most definitely a 'fanwank' book, with its constant references to things (trek and not) that only a long-term pop SF aficionado would get. Whether that detracts from or adds to the enjoyment factor depends greatly upon your POV. [/QB][/QUOTE]
