hello, folks
I'm again in a literature rush. I have lots of hobbies, including videogames and piano, so I cycle through them when my mood changes.
Anyway, I discovered the amazing compilations called The Science Fiction Megapack. Bought the sixth, really enjoyed it and also ordered the first and second for the kindle.
They're extremely cheap (each ebook about 1 dollar) and each brings about 28 short scifi from all ages: 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s whatever, but mostly classics from scifi mags such as Astounding
a fine deal, if you ask me. Quality of content is variable, but mostly good, almost all quite intriguing in one way or the other. Poul Anderson, Harry Harryson, Asimov, Clarke, Philip L Dick among many other authors show up. In fact, there's a whole novella from Samuel R Delany on the first compilation, Captives of the Flame. So far, to be true, the best one from that volume, which seems to have got the scifi wrong for some stories. Still, I read the sixth and am confident it's very worthy.
