We've got a B&N and it's pretty good. SF section is 30 or so shelves wide.

A rule that has helped me, both w dialogue and w other stuff, is never let a sentence do one thing. Also, most things should be conflict. So: dialogue scenes from The Boardroom Group in my novel: * explain background situations * show fights between characters * advance plot

Replying to @MorlockP @JASutherlandBks and
if you aim for this, you might have a situation where there's no conflict implicit in the situation. Maybe drop the scene? Or maybe change things up a bit so that there IS conflict. If everyone in a discussion agrees, it's flat. 1950's "as you know, Bob".

so instead of "As you know, Bob, the star drive takes 48 hours to recharge." try "Bob, I need the star drive again in 24 hours." / "That's impossible." / "No it's not, you did it in 36 hours once before" / "That was different; we had XYZ." / "You're sand-bagging me!" etc

My rule is similar to Morlock's. I call that "ping-pong" dialog. Have the answer be 30 degrees off from the question. Close enough to follow, but not so close that the reader is lulled to sleep.
