Is City at the End of Time part of the Eon series?  I somehow missed Eon years 
ago when I was first reading heavily in science fiction, and I'm reading it 
now.  I'm thinking that I probably enjoy it more now -- or at least appreciate 
it -- than I would have in my 20's.

  Giving warning about spoilers has generally been the done thing.  You 
  warn:

  SPOILERS AHEAD

  and then give a bunch of lines with *something* there, so various mail 
  programs don't decide, "Hey, that's just white space, we should compress 
  it!"  One thing that works fairly well is:

  S
  P
  O
  I
  L
  E
  R

  S
  P
  A
  C
  E

  S
  P
  O
  I
  L
  E
  R

  S
  P
  A
  C
  E

  And it's generally a good idea to do that for anything only out in 
  hardcover, or something that's been out in paperback for less than 2 
  months.  (Some folks can't necessarily get the books from the library and 
  can't afford hardcover copies of all the nifty stuff we could potentially 
  discuss here, so waiting until the paperback has been out long enough for 
  folks to get their hands on it and read it is a generally courteous 
  thing.)
