Of late, I’ve been re-enjoying scifi/fantasy books from:

Jack Vance - The Demon Princes
(Space mystery/thriller/etc type series)

Sharon Lee/Steve Miller - the Liaden series
(Agent of Change, Conflict of Honors, etc. Very space opera-ish)

James Schmitz - Telzey Amberdon, etc.
(Series of sci-fi or maybe sci-psi stories)

Yes, it’s a bit frivolous, but given how serious life can be, I need a little escapism sometimes.

The James Schmitz description sounds interesting.

... given how serious life can be, I need a little escapism sometimes.

I read Regency Romances, get a couple each time I'm at the used book store, trading back the previous ones.

I can’t find volume four of the Demon Princes series anywhere. I just finished Marune: Alastor 933.
