She didn't mean that nothing worth reading had been written, just nothing exceptionally good. Her opinion of science fiction was extremely low. I asked her to read "Mortal Gods" which was a 3 page short story by Orson Scott Card, and her reaction was quite favorable. I think that for those who have poor opinions of the quality of SF, Card is a very good writer. -Castor Fu ihnp4!lanl!dspo!fu Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
