Thanks. I also did a little research and realized that this collection also has the story Herd Immunity which got me interested in her work. I have ordered this collection from Amazon. I spent the weekend re-arranging my bookshelves this weekend and realized that she has a story in Shivers VII which I have not read. I am determined to finish what I am reading before I read that one though. I also can't recommend her non-fiction Freedom in the Family highly enough. Just an amazing read.

THE GUNS OF AVALON by Roger Zelazny, book #2 of the Amber pentology. I read them as they came out when I was in college, and am happy to rediscover they are just as good now! In non-fiction, my continuing study of the history of Britannia, Guy de la Bedoyere's ROMAN BRITAIN.Last edited by keithminnion; 06-30-2020, 07:50 PM.

Reading a novella by Eric Brown that is about Sherlock Holmes on Mars solving a Martian murder, The Martian Simulacra: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery. Finding it difficult to sustain interest and concentration, but I think that's more about me than the book, which actually is pretty interesting thus far...I look forward to pushing through and finishing the book.
A batch of four new Jeff Strand books are scheduled to show up tomorrow, so will probably dive right into one of those after the Brown novella...if Strand can't break this reading block, nothing will.Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton

I've had those "reading blocks" and their brutal. Sometimes I just can't engage and I know it's me and not the book. This usually happens after a run of mediocre books. I occasionally have to dip back into the well of beloved authors or books to break through and regain that momentum.Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton

Exactly...my recent run of reads has been less than satisfying. I'm pretty confident Strand will break the streak.

I've also missed out on all the TSB limited editions of his that have been coming out of late. I think the last one was CLOWNS VS. SPIDERS, which sounds interesting, but hard to plunk $99 on when I'm not sure of the author.
