EE Doc Smith

[rybanis]

I'm kind of on a posting roll tonight, I guess.<br /><br />I just read the Wiki article on <i>Tripleplanetary</i> and I've got the itch to re-read the whole Lensman series. This may be a stupid question, but anyone else read these classics? Also, has anyone else seen the 80's Japanese anime based off the books? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Skylark and Lensman both. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

Isn't Doc Smith the author of "Doc Savage"? When I first saw the thread title I thought it was going to be another obit. notice, or is he already deceased, and I didn't know it. <br /><br />I have enjoyed the Doc Savage series though, even if I did get my authors confused.

No, I don't think "doc" did the Man of Bronze.

Love Lensman and Skylark. These were the books the really got me into Sci-Fi.<br /><br />And, E.E. "Doc" Smith has been dead for a few decades, hrracts. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Vote </font><font color="#3366ff">Libertarian</font></strong></p> </div>
