Yes, I too really loved my Kapro II, and was so glad that I decided on that rather than the Osbourne I.
I read my first 'Doc' Smith novel when it was serialized in
IF Worlds of Science Fiction, back in 1964 or '65. The title was "
Skylark DuQuesne. I remember being completely enthralled. That's when I fell in love with the sweep of his writing.
My favorite series, however, was the Lensman Series. I still have great memories of those books.
Can someone post something here on how they read as an adult? Are they still enjoyable?
