My favorite drummer, lyricist, and non fiction and travel writer has got me reading science fiction for the first time in 30 years.* It's been nothing but text books, non-fiction and biographies since high school. But Neil along with Kevin Anderson fleshed out the lyrics from Rush's concept album, Clockwork Angels into a novel. Not the best story I've ever read but quite enjoyable. Now going back through the Science Fiction Hall of Fame Vol IIA Short Stories. And I asked for some SF for Christmas.
*Except of course for reading a couple three of Michael's short stories a few years back.
