Erik and co,
I'll join in too.
And I've converted the list to a Word table for anyone interested - same
basis as John, so I can sort out the stuff I've not read. It's 2Meg, though,
but I think I can reduce the size a bit by turning it into a comma-delimited
file that Excel etc could read straight away. If anyone wants it, please let
me know which version you want.
A couple of questions, too.
1. A lot of these books I've not read for decades. Some of my judgements
will be based on what I can remember feeling about a book. I know in a lot
of cases I would think differently if I was to read the book now. (For
example, at 14 I loved Alistair MacLean books. Nowadays I can't get passed
the first few pages of any but a couple.) Is this taken as a given? Any
ideas how we can identify the bias here? It will probably skew a lot in
favour of Asimov/Clarke/Heinlein.
2. Please add "Ash" by Mary Gentle. The version I read was a single volume,
but the book has been published as a trilogy also. I imagine there'll be
other books published that way, too.
3. Please add the following books by George Turner:
Beloved Son
Vaneglory
Yesterday's Men
Will try to get this to you by end of month. Might cheat with the Date Line
though! ;-)
