  1. Really? Better than Ender's Game?

  2. Mr Asher,

    I am enjoying these glimpses of
    your personal SF collection and
    the chance to view some of the
    cover art of British SF paperbacks.
    Is that the work of Chris Foss on
    the Blish books?

  3. Not many A C Clarkes in there.

  4. Definitely Foss, Ian. I too am enjoying looking at them again, since they've been sitting up in my loft for a number of years. Bit of a nostalgia trip.

    Graeme, as I said before, this is my collection and only a fragment of what I've read. That being said I'm thinking of buying the 2001 onwards series.

  5. quick question. anyone recommend Chalker books outside of the Wells series? clueless to that. might have been an Ace double book i read and thats it.

    ditto on the foreign artwork. was Fossed out in my early teens. not Fosse like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBBoQxLQ9Rk
    cuz i was sorta chubby back then. it was Giger, Frazetta, Jim Burns, then Foss.

    on a note of pure hilariousness to scam the world:
    L. Ron's marketing space planes to people with money. believe!

    not B-52s as i thought came thru space but, amazingly, DC-8s ........apparently! that makes alot more sense. uh...cents.

    The Chronicles Of Morgaine still gives me nightmares, I felt it was that bad.

    Read Ender's Game - liked it a lot and am actually reading Ender in Exile at the moment, so we'll see how that pans out.

    Not read and of the others, but have read some Clarke (The City and the Stars being my favourite) and debating about getting around to Childhood's End as I've heard it's good.

  8. Vaude, I don't know of any others by Chalker, though I really ought to check. Foss for me on the early books, then Giger when he started to appear in Omni magazine.

    Skar, I loved them, which shows you just how subjective it all is.

    Mark, loved the first couple of Ender books. It was only when I read Xenocide that I started to see the preachy stuff others had mentioned.
