“Little Fuzzy” by H. Beam Piper
Its a 1962 sci fi story I grabbed from the Gutenburg Project. I’m only a few pages in so I’m not quite sure where its going yet.

Hey, I thought of a lit joke just yesterday . . . humoring only but myself, as always:
I asked William Shakespeare who was the finest poet of all time.
He replied, "iamb."

“Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe 1945 - 1956”
Also Ammianus Marcellinus’ history of the later Roman Empire.
Both very relevant to our time.

The series was reissued in paperback in the early 80s. Very cute.

You should read “Fuzzy Nation” by John Scalzi which was written as a tribute to “Little Fuzzy.”
Good book!

Intruder in the Dust by William Faulkner
I'm reading this for the second time in my life. It's one of the most underrated American novels of all time, in my opinion.

I just read it not a month ago. It’s definitely worth the read. It’s a shame Piper is not more widely known. I’d definitely recommend The Cosmic Computer and Space Viking.
