wow! rah was my first scifi author (i read farmer in the sky [satellite scout] in boy's life when i was a cub scout) and my very favorite writer ever and i've, over the years, re-read many/most of his works, many of them several times. i've, just recently, systematically re-read:

1. about 25% of his works not related to the below two categories
2. all the schribner's juveniles
3. all but the last two of his future history series related works.

i'm stuck on 'time enough for love' and because of that haven't started 'to sail beyond the sunset'. (the last two of the future history series)

'time enough for love' is making me nuts!! i usually start a book and hungrily plow through it till i'm done and then lament the fact that it's over and i must abandon those characters and all the interesting and unusual places where the story took place.

not so with 'time enough for love', and i don't remember feeling at all this way the first/other times i've read it.

perhaps it's my age
