1st let me say thank you all 4 reminding me that outside my little world there are others who are as avidly interested in wolfe's work as I. 2nd: (ok i know this isnt the best topic 4 this site but) has anyone read anything from Vernor Vinge and does anyone know of a good site, like this one, for discussing his work? ( i know that was 2 questions im sorry) 3rd does anyone know in what piece does Wolfe mention "short stories by vernor vinge" (who i know to be an actual author because ive read some of his novels and essays***)? ps i think it may be in castle of days... *** - Vinge's essays on 'accelerated returns' as well as 'the singularity' are, i feel so anyway, really interesting and kinda tie in with what GW has said about recreating and/or altering ancient and mythic species and such <im reffering here to castle of the otter where he talks about the destriers and smileodons>. ((if you are interested in the topics of those essays i suggest you simply goto google and do a search. I did so with great success.)) OH lastly! not to sound sappy but does anyone here write? (well i do, i try to.)Because all of you who have responded sound delightfully intellegent and quite well spoken. WOW that was sappy, sorry.

I don't know about short stories, but Wolfe does mention him in Fifth Head, doesn't he? John

Yep. We very recently discussed that: He mentions Vinge in the library scene in Fifth Head. He has some books there.
