I just can't separate some of his beliefs from his writing

I find it easier to enjoy books and movies by avoiding TMI about authors and actors. You are sometimes disappointed, and yes, that affects how you view their work. So, I do understand. My sister doesn't like Piers Anthony because he's sexist. That is what bugs her about him and there are plenty of other authors out there who aren't. Besides, she hates puns, so Xanth would kill her. BTW, I concur about Bio of A Space Tyrant. Read that years ago and wasn't interested in it enough to pursue the series. I think it was the only thing of his that I've read outside of Xanth and I think I stopped on Xanth by book 10.
Anyway, Peachie, the compulsion is hard to fight, but as mentioned, I remind myself that I will not be able to read it for THREE YEARS, and that is helping me. Find yourself a block that is realistic and write it on a postie and stick on your computer monitor.
Now, I have to decide WHICH of the Kickstarter mags I'm going to get for horror and fantasy and since it looks like I get all the Lightspeed back issues, that's like 52 more books. However, since I do not include Baen and Audible monthlies in my total, I think I will back within budget about July.
