oh, my library is relatively small -- when you add in all technical,
fiction, science fiction, mystery, craft books, throw in the knitting
magazines I still only have about 7 bookcases.
I keep only books I have loved and want to re-read. Others I either pass on
to other people, donate to the library or give to my mom for her temple's
book sales. I do however, frequent the public library constantly.
So.... science fiction that I have:
E.E. "Doc" Smith, Lensman and Skylark series
Heinlein -- almost every one, I'm missing some of his juveniles
Marion Zimmer Bradley -- almost every Darkover novel, I want to start
collecting her Ghostlight/Witchlight ones
Anne McCaffrey -- all the Pern, and Psi books, I have read everything else,
including her non-science fiction fiction
Piers Anthony -- Space Tyrant and Incarnations of Immortality, I gave up
reading Xanth after the 10th book in the trilogy
Gordon R Dickson -- every Dorsai book. I don't like his dragon and the
George series
Douglas Adams -- all the hitchhiker books, I have a signed copy of the first
one as well. yes, I've read everything else
J.K. Rowling (does Harry Potter count as science fiction?) American and
British versions, as well as the cassettes of all 4 books (that was my
birthday present from my parents last year)
James Schmitz -- the Telzey stories and The Witches of Karres -- if you
haven't read that one, go out NOW and do so
Spider Robinson -- I've been collecting them all, I know I have a complete
set of the Callahan stories (I have GOT to find that bar someday)
and assorted others, usually one or two by an author, or one style by an
author (I like Mercedes Lackey's Diana Tregarde and Oathbound books, not her
others)
But I work with someone whose father-in-law has a complete set of the pulp
magazines as well as first editions of a lot of the early authors.
THAT library I want in on.
