    Since I'm writing a Catholic sci-fi novel, and since for some years I was reading more in the mystery genre and non-fiction and misc., now and then I get a notion I'd better read some more current sci-fi to make sure I'm not accidentally getting ideas that are unoriginal or something.

    Anyhow, the other day I picked up a copy of Whitley Strieber's The Grays at the thrift shop and read it in 2 days. I looked him up on the web and it says he's Catholic! He wrote the book Communion which supposedly describes a first-hand alien abduction experience. I think I'll have to read that just for the heck of it.

    The Grays seemed to be a thriller -- sort of Tom Clancy meets Close Encounters? -- predictable in places, but a fun page turner. Strieber's into the 2012 thing too, from what I gathered looking up other titles by him.

    Hi -- been a member of the Forums awhile but just now got to exploring groups. I'm a bit "geriatric" myself at 48 but that means I can remember the Gemini and Apollo missions first hand, whereas some of you whippersnappers can't! Hee hee. But seriously I like Star Wars (it brought back some of the Gemini/Apollo feeling of wonder), Trek, and various others. I also like Harry Potter and Twilight Saga -- read with discernment they have some good values in them, and I don't have any kids so I don't have to worry about the parental-control issues. Recently also read C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy and am going to read the Narnia and Lord of the Rings series and see the LOTR movies. I'm also a writer of sorts myself and am working on a Catholic Sci-Fi novel. I think well-written sci-fi can take us to a different perspective from which truth of our Faith can be all the more affirmed. Glad to have found this group.

    Star Trek is good. Oh I like DS9, and Voyager. Yeah DS9 is a bit dark, I haven't seen all the series. I like most of them, but can't really get into Kirk's TOS.

    I LOVE all of the Star Trek series EXcept Deep Space Nine - it felt too dark and dismal for me. I have tried multiple times to get through it because i know it has some stories of some of my favorite characters such as Worf but can't seem to get through it.
    Loved all of the Star Trek movies but #1 and #5 were not so great. Anyone else have some comments on this?

    I'm 62, have always loved sci-fi. Wrote a sci-fi novel as a teen (not published), and recently a couple of screenplays (not optioned). Loved the Startrek series -- original, and also DEEP SPACE NINE.

    Loved Twilight Zone, especially THE HOWLING MAN, a tale about the devil (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Howling_Man ).

    Anyone read A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ? Wonderful!!

    Hope you'll let this 53 yr old grandma join, too. I've been reading sci-fi since before some of you youngersters were born!! :-) I especially love Ray Bradbury, but also love Clarke, Azimov, and others. I have my stash of Galaxy and Amazing mags here at the handy, along with my 11 little plastic astronauts from a pre-1969 moon walk.

    I just registered with the Catholic Answers forum today and saw this intersting looking social group. I'll be 41 this June and have noticed some other posters in their 50s so I hope us older Catholics are welcomed :-) I've been a fna of sci-fi since I was a kid.
