Re: Where Are You Now?
I've been in Asimov's Caves of Steel with Elijah and Jezebel and a robot or two.

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

Re: Where Are You Now?
Ah, the SF classics. I'm reading one too, although it puts me in 6th-century Gothic Rome. with a few modifications introduced by out early-20th-century archaeologist protagonist: brandy, the printing press, and a semaphore signaling system.
