A book that I would have honestly passed by, you helped to grab my attention.<br />I have a small like for science fiction, but not enough to really have all this knowledge you are sure I would know, (ether in between the planets), but I know it now. Reading further into your review, and your note of 'everyday pleasures' and how we basically take them for granted spoke to me. It's something I have felt much of this last little while. If this book can bring out those thoughts in you, it must be a decent story.fredamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445217103291725907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-414037075910705442014-01-03T11:35:28.332-05:002014-01-03T11:35:28.332-05:00I never mind running into that mysterious "et...I never mind running into that mysterious "ether". it's a good stand-in for whatever atmosphericness people didn't yet understand, or did understand, and didn't want their characters to have to deal with.<br /><br />I had never thought about some of these older classics as "morality plays", makes me look at them in a whole new light!
