Did the notion of a "Space Trilogy" keep you away

Postby Danny » May 10th, 2006, 6:05 pm

I avoided reading "The Space Trilogy" for a long time because I had an aversion to reading science fiction (I confess watching Star Trek in the late 70's after school each day, as religiously as anyone). When I finally got to the Trilogy it went down like the freshest of water. I look forward to some time in the future when I might have an extended period to re-read these three without much interruption.

my own encounter with The Space Trilogy is rather a long and winding story.

In a nut shell, I knew that my Mom had the Space Trilogy at one time, but with the Attic being in a Much Cluttered condition there was the possibility that they had gone to the Great Book Shop in the Market many many moons ago during the Great Sort.

However a few months ago I came across them, and read them.

On reading them there was a vague sense of familiarity, and with That Hideous Strength there was a "fore-knowledge" that mr Bultitude was a bear even before it was actually revealled.

So I suspect that in the days of my youth I had actually read them, and their memory had become submerged amongst the other things I read.

As to an "expected" genre of Science Fiction, the Trilogy encompases quite a broad spectrum of what makes up SF.

Although I suppose a discussion on what is SF should probably be on in the books/films thread, I think I'd say that SF encompases the concept of "park your brain outside and enjoy the action" style (aka Star Bores, Buck Rogers, Dan Dare etc) to the "consider the conundrums that new technology/new experiences would present" (aka Perry Rhodan, Eye in the Sky, Wolfbane, Robot Series etc etc).

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.
