Just ordered a used copy of a book I couldn't find in ebook form: Alien Earth and Other Stories by Roger Elwood. I haven't read "Alien Earth" in probably 50 years, but this weird tale of a man who takes a drug that alters the way he perceives time has stuck with me ever since (although for years I couldn't remember the name of the author or the title). I recall him painting a vivid picture of how the world would look were our metabolism slowed down to that of plants. I'm looking forward to seeing this one in my mailbox.
