Heinlein rocks, and I ate up the Riverworld series. Missed World of Tiers, will have to rectify.<br /><br />Another series I didn't mention was the Thomas Covenant Illearth arc - pretty good as well. Didn't mention Bradbury - figure the library would be underserved w/o some of his stuff.<br /><br />There are so many different directions my reading took me - I had all the Louis L'Armour Sackett novels plus a buttload of his other works, but I doubt I'll try to get all of those again. Same with Ken Follett, Trevanian, Michener, and O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin sea classics. Liked all of 'em but probably won't reread. Mostly I'm just looking to replace the books I enjoyed rereading, not that new ones won't be selected, though....Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-42617765980737184402012-09-17T14:03:23.951-05:002012-09-17T14:03:23.951-05:00Jeffro, I hope that your reading list includes a f...Jeffro, I hope that your reading list includes a few of Robert Heinlein's books. Even his juvenile books are worthy. He is not a total engineering geek like Mr Niven, but he gives a soul to his books.<br />Don't forget abebooks.com...Read a lot of PJ Farmer's books that were outstanding. One from the World of Tiers or Riverworld series will leave you panting for another.The Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09854776544931267722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-79833598987671625662012-09-17T11:24:14.490-05:002012-09-17T11:24:14.490-05:00If you're at all interested in e-books, many o...If you're at all interested in e-books, many of the classics are available in free Kindle editions - and free Kindle software for PC or smartphone.
