That makes sense. I've mostly been reading books of film criticism which are I guess published thesisus. I just hate facts whether I'm reading fiction or non-. I'd really recommend Richard Cumbow's Order in the Universe about the works of John Carpenter (sadly written before Ghosts on Mars. Not sure if there's a revised edition). It's great alone for simply collecting a lot of Carpenter quotes but his analysis on the films is solid. Though the contortions he makes to apologise for Cameron can be dreadful: Vampires isn't misogynistic because, uh, there aren't any women in it; the portrayal of gangs in Assault on Precinct 13 is fine because it slots into a long line of eg westerns using indians as a manifestation of evil. Also he gets so excited at Prince of Darkness he breaks down and tries to pin it down through a series of lists, it's bizarre.

I picked up a book called Moon Dust about astronauts because it sounded cool and had a Ballard blurb but he glossed IV (4 in roman numerals) so I think this sci has gone way too pop.
