>>I have a huge collection of older sci-fi. Nothing current has been much worth reading , imo. I love the old stuff.<<
So do I !
I own an autographed copy of AE van Vogt's VOYAGE OF THE SPACE BEAGLE . .
That was written in the Golden Age of the 1940's
No one beats Jack Vance. For Sci-Fi and Fantasy.
Would you believe, I re-read that a few months ago! One great story. I have many of his books.
I have "Voyage of the Space Beagle" in a trilogy form called "Triad"....with "Slan" and "The World of A".
I read a little every day, usually with my coffee, when I get up.
Very entertaining, extremely interesting stories.
