Pfft. I'm so tired of novelettes and novellas. Wanderings and musings and sometimes even adventures, neither as fleshed out as a novel nor as pointed as a story. I'm also tired of SF from the 70s. The most memorable piece in here had all males going mad and killing all females, thinking that would please God... well, it certainly doesn't please me to think they were so ready to believe the teachings... and the climax, well, let's just say a competent writer could have gotten to that point in a short-short piece.
