When dusting my shelves this weekend I came across these three favorites:

From Starlog magazine comes Space Art, compiled and written by Ron Miller. This is an excellent collection of artwork from (what are now) the old masters: Bonestell, McCall and so on. (There's even one by Norman Rockwell)! I'm amazed by the imagination of the artists on how a faraway planet might look.

Ladyhawke, by Joan D. Vinge, was made into one of my favorite movies. There's one scene, however, that did not make it onto film ... one where Isabeau and that beautiful horse, Goliath, are practicing dressage in the moonlight.

Within a very short period of time I saw Cliff Robertson as both JFK (PT-109), and as Charly from the book Flowers for Algernon. What a contrast of characters! I'd read the book earlier, but went back to read it again as I then had that image of the character in my head. An excellent read with an ending you know is coming and want to stop.
