And it holds up remarkably well for 60-year-old SF. A good number of interesting ideas, although the plots are characters are a little creaky.
Then I read
The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snickett, the first of thirteen in his children's books "A Series of Unfortunate Events". It was a fun quick read, but certainly a children's story. However, as they are fun and quick I shall probably read the rest eventually. (I got most as freebies in April 2010 and filled in the gaps when they were on special offer at £0.99 back in December 2013.)
Next up:
Half a Crown by Jo Walton. The third in her alternate history "Small Change" series. I'm not sure why she skipped Penny, Tuppence, Thruppence, Tanner, Bob and Florin, but in this series Half a Crown comes after Ha'penny.
