I'm going to have to put it on my "To Read" list.

Can't say that I've read much Bester. Whatever I have read, I either don't remember the title, or don't remember it was his. (And I would've read it a looooong time ago.)

He only wrote two novels that are worth reading-- The Stars My Destination and The Demolished Man, but both are superb. (After writing those, he left SF for a long time, and wasn't much good when he returned.) Of his short fiction, "Fondly Fahrenheit" is one of the great SF short stories of all time.
