Books bought yesterday, top to bottom:
The Dancers of Noyo — Margaret St. Clair
City of Illusions — Ursula Le Guin
The Dolphins of Altair — Margaret St. Clair
A Heroine of the World — Tanith Lee
Needle in a Timestack — Robert Silverberg
Planet Run — Keith Laumer & Gordon Dickson
Courtship Rite — Donald Kingsbury
The Martian Inca — Ian Watson
The last one I got because of Adam Roberts’ reviews of Ian Watson’s books over at Punkadiddle. Watson is one of those writers I read a lot of when younger just because the local library had so many of his books, then sort of lost sight of afterwards. The same goes for Tanith Lee. The Le Guin I had a long long time in Dutch, but never read as far as I know. One of her early works.
Margaret St. Clair is a writer who has been largely forgotten it seems like; what I’ve read of her I liked. I also got these books to review for Ian Sale’s SF Mistressworks site.
Finally I buy anything Silverberg or Laumer has done, though with the latter everything after 1971 or so isn’t very good. Sadly Laumer got a stroke that year, lost most of his writing abilities and never was the same afterwards. he had to keep on writing though to pay the bills, but that doesn’t mean you should buy them…
