Gag.

Tried to get through "Proof" by Timothy Zahn. Still having trouble. Supposed to be about a prison where the mind is manipulated until there is no identity. Sounds cool in theory but in structure it's just not holding very well. On the verge of giving up.

Out of eighty-six pages twenty-one were related to fiction. Kind of lopsided if you ask me. Editor David Gross warned me in the editorial about this. Amazing Stories will cover a mix of storytelling media in order to ensure that every Sci-Fi girl and boy can get their rocks off. Sounds fair and I was warned. To add there is a wide range of articles here. There's a Robert Silverberg interview, a piece about the radio adaptation of the Twilight Zone, and a retrospective of Sci-Fi past. Even has some book and movie reviews worth looking through. It's not a bad read and it passes the time reasonably. Potato chips are not a bad snack and it fills your hunger reasonably. The articles could have been written not just better but thicker. I feel like I'm getting the Reader's Digest version of Speculative Fiction articles. Once again for $5.99 I expected a little bit more.

Unfortunately I'll have to pass on Amazing Stories for a little while. Maybe after they beef up this taco a little it'll amount to something but as for now its just junk food.
