Mary,
Watchmen was a comic by Alan Moore.
BTW, spelling for the Chrysalids by John Wyndham is as I show.
...and you might now be able to find The Telepathist (in the US, this is known as The Whole Man) by John Brunner. It looks to have been published in ebook format by ereads in September.
http://ereads.com/ecms/book_title/The-Whole-Man
I can highly recommend the Brunner book :-)
Also, Mary, given the subject material, if you haven't yet seen a kids show called _The Tomorrow People_ you really should. There is a remake on air right now (on the CW), but go back to the 70s original. There was a nineties remake as well, but I'd still recommend going back to the 70s version. Telepathy is front and center for that show.
Thanks,
Arin

Greetings,
Hey C. Like the pun on Keith's name, (you're bad, (grin).
Who wrote Watchmen, I can't find it on my on-line service. You are absolutely right about a clockwork orange being so much better as a novel.
The terms he made up were at the beginning of the book on tape, so I played them once, and was good to go for the rest of the read, if I forgot what something meant I could take it in context. I didn't like the scene with the cats, though, but that's my personal thing. I believe I'd like The Watchmen, (or whatever it's called), being interested in telepathy. Really, the Chrisolyds, (could have the spelling wrong, sorry) is a must read for anyone into telepathy, and I do wish I could find the Telepathist as previously suggested to me. The works of Besta are cool, and the character of Besta is 1 I love to hate from my favorite show Babylon 5. Any suggestions for good new science fiction shows, or movies, well? Keith, thanks for the link on YouTube, I'm enjoying the music, awesome guitar work). it's a nasty rainy day, I guess I'll read a book for a bit.
Mary I love The Matrix. I can't keep up with all the great releases coming out, I check out what I can, based on suggestions from the forums on YouTube.
Thanks,
Happy holidays,
Your friend,
Mary

I liked Bladerunner in its various reduxes for the past 30 years without reading the novel i think its a great SF flick up there with Alien, Terminator, Robocop etc. Watchmen is a MUST read and SEE movie, mindblowing adaptation that left out 60% of the book yet pulled off an incredible movie.
A Clockwork Orange is my favorite all time movie, seen it 30 times.
Finally read the extended book some years ago, wow, loved it. Jazzy writing, fast paced with all the Nadsat and psycholical chit chat with our dear Delinquent Droog Alex, get to know him well hehe. Inspired by skinheads in the early 60s and inspired countless bands to adopt the Droog look (Chrome, Turbonegro etc).
I have a Top 40 of 2013 i am presenting, though i have slashed it down to a shorter Top 25 for Jerry's Aural Innovations blog, with commentary for each release. ArcMet up first since i had my art in the latest CD by them (PLUG PLUG!). But otherwise no particular order than double cheese w/ pepperoni to "Go" or the usual Freemasonry orders etc. Stay tuned for Jan 1 when all our selections are published. Keith had so much stuff i never heard of so he will have to drive me more insane collecting wise then.
