Trying to find a book
Hello.

When I was too young to remember such things I read a book with a scene that stuck in my mind, but I can't "swear" it was one of Ray's. (Clarke maybe? But, I don't think so. <edit>Hmmmm.... maybe it was Heinlein!!! Must search!<edit> )

There was an astronaut/man sitting up in a tree on a strange planet. I want to say he was just contemplating the landscape or something like that. It's been bugging me for years. I'm 40 now, and I'm thinking I read this before high school.

Thanks for any thoughts on this subject.

JP

You can try here http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=rec.arts.sf.written&btnG=Search&meta= and here http://forums.abebooks.com/abesleuthcom as the two best places to start, and there are others.

Great advice! Didn't know these type of sites existed, though I guess it shouldn't surprise me.

Happy 2005!

Just want to mention two things to people submitting requests to identify stories not by Ray Bradbury.

1. If you do find or remember what you're after, please, PLEASE post the answer back here on the SAME thread! Otherwise people out there will still be looking for it!

2. If my two suggestions of free Book ID forums do not work, try here: http://www.logan.com/loganberry/stump.html but be aware they do charge $2 a stumper!
