Posts: 5579 07/02/06 10:27 AM Star's Hero	Tags : None This is a majority of the pages on templetongate.net that reference books and/or authors. I wanted to highlight these here because I know there are a lot of people who visit this ezboard without realizing that it is just an adjunct to the main site. I again offer up an invitation to anyone else who would like to contribute reviews, articles or author profiles. I will edit this list as pages are added, as well as creating new threads where they can be discussed. I have included the reviewer's name in parentheses following the article title, but any that are not identified as to reviewer then that means I wrote it. I post as "ecgordon" but my real name is Galen Strickland. Miscellaneous Pages About The Site SF: A Primer (my first article) SF: Where to Start?

TrainBandit	Regarding Heinlein	#1	[url]	[-]
Posts: 1 07/03/09 1:28 PM	Hi EC, this is TrainBandit from FFF.net. Your article on Robert Anson pretty much sums up how I feel about the man, as my political views - not to mention views on women, of which I am one - are also the polar opposites of his. I've had to just smile and move beyond what I consider offensive as I read certain parts of his works. My favorite Heinlein is Glory Road. I read Stranger when I was twelve. Should revisit it about now, since I'm well past that age. And let's not forget Podkayne of Mars, which I saw as a beacon of hope, since she was the first female protagonist of his I read - I remember thinking "oh boy, a girl hero." Of course he painted her in sexist terms, but I keep telling myself that he was a man of his times, and considering that, she was pretty kick-ass anyway. Over all, he said a lot, and much of it is worthwhile. Plus he was just so darn good. I'll read almost anything if it's done well. Nice site! I will return when I have time to look through all of it -- you've got a lot here. TB
