A Winnipeg man just donated a huge science fiction collection to the University of Alberta. Thanks for not giving it to the University of Manitoba! I'm pretty sure there will be some Fox B Holden in there- he of the Woman-Stealers of Thrayx. Those letters to Conan creator Robert E Howard would be fascinating to look at.
I've read some excellent sci-fi lately, including a superb anthology of shorts from the early 50s- the pre-Sputnik optimist period. I love that era. This particular anthology was Robert Silverberg's Worlds of Wonder and included stories like "Hothouse" by Aldiss (about the far future when plants are the dominant life form on Earth) and the more subtle but very powerful "Light of Other Days" by Bob Shaw. And then I read a book by Silverberg himself, Roma Eterna which is an alternate history in which the Roman Empire never fell, and Jesus never rose.
