D'oh. I obviously didn't delete fast enough... ;)

Apparently a lot of people are having trouble with LJ cuts under the new software. If I'd reloaded a few times I'd probably have seen the cut go in.

WOW that's depressing. I've read maybe 4 books off this list.

To be fair: I probably started a long time before you did.

What depresses me is the number of books on that list that, were I reading them for the first time today, I wouldn't finish (I used to think that it was a Holy Obligation to finish a book).

OTOH, there are a number of books listed that I reread: Lord of Light, ...And Call Me Conrad (reprinted as This Immortal), Bridge of Birds, and Speed of Dark are all well worth your time, IMHO. A good handful of the others aren't bad, really, just not re-reads. For instance, I used to read everything by Clifford Simak that I could get my hands on, but I find he really doesn't stand up to re-reading. Well, except for the Pink Thing...

Oh, I feel better now. I was thinking much the same thing--I was reading through it, thinking "should read, read, maaaaaaybe, glad I've read that already so I don't need to read it ever ever again."

I'm quite bemused by some of the books you haven't read. I've only read about 40 of them, myself (see my LJ for details if you care), but I'd never have guessed that you've never read The Sparrow or Paladin of Souls or Madouc. Otherwise, our lists overlap considerably (and our non-lists overlap even more).

read over 50 but, then, I'm also over 50 lol

I have been reading SciFi since 1966. And certainly more of the older stuff. Sharon, I Highly recommend *Barrayar*.
It is on my McCaffrey "comfort" shelf along with every Lee/Miller (who are they?) book, some Robin McKinley, James H. Schmitz (The Demon Breed being my favorite), and James White.

I Highly recommend *Barrayar*.

I think I'm probably one of the three people on the planet who would rather drown Cordelia than sit down with her for a coze. Absolutely a flaw in my character.

My favorite Schmitz is The Witches of Karres, though I understand it doesn't play well with the younger generation of readers. The only books I've read by White are the Sector Generals -- what else did he do?

Yes, *The Witches of Karres* is a keeper. I will say, though, that both my daughters loved that book as teenagers. But, then, they grew up surrounded by science fiction books.

James White: an absolutely delightful and sweet man. I miss him. While I enjoyed the Sector General stories, my favorites were his other books. *Escape Orbit*, *The Watch Below*, and *Lifeboat* are outstanding. *Deadly Litter* was written in 1964 about garbage pickup in earth orbit. *All Judgment Fled* and *Tomorrow Is Too Far* are two more. I reread *Escape Orbit* quite often. It was written in 1983 and I think it is better than the story with the same theme by David Weber (*Echos of Honor*, 1998). *Lifeboat* is another reread; *Watch Below* used to be, but it is too intense for me right now(i.e. what if the folks in the Poseidon Adventure could NOT get out?). Mr. White was finally nominated for a Hugo for *The Silent Stars Go By* in 1992 but lost to *Barrayar*.

I have to admit that if I were only familiar with Cordelia through her mentions outside of *Barrayar* I wouldn't care much for her either, but...I love that book.

I'd never have guessed that you've never read The Sparrow or Paladin of Souls or Madouc.

The Sparrow got a lot of buzz, I remember, but it sounded to me like a rewrite of Blish's A Case of Conscience, so I didn't bother picking it up. Unfair, perhaps, but there you are.

I did spend about 20 minutes with Paladin in a bookstore, but it didn't grab me. Madouc I don't think I ever heard of -- not surprising, as I gave up on Vance early in my SF-reading career.
