| Why don't you just Google the website for Amazon.com and see what the latest titles are for hard science fiction? You don't have to purchase the books...just obtain the titles and have your local library obtain them for you. |

| A lot of people feel more at ease in social environments when wearing sunglasses and not just those individuals living with Asperger's Syndrome. Sunglasses provide a sense of protection...as if one can say, "I can see you but, you cannot see me." Marketers have found this to be true and many sunglas... |
