I'm really enjoying re-reading/listening to some of the classic SciFi short stories from "The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume 1". My book is probably 45-50 years old, broken off into many sections, held together by a big rubber band. For the stories that are too hard to read due to book damage, I'm listening to the audiobook version.

I had forgotten how good many of these stories are. The Weapon Shop, First Contact, Flowers for Algernon, Twilight, ... I don't know if they're really as good as I'm thinking, or if I'm just living through some nostalgia having read these when I was in Jr. High/High School. But whatever the cause - I'm enjoying myself! I'm currently in the middle of, and enthralled with Flowers for Algernon. What a nicely told story. I seem to remember that was required reading sometime back in my school life.
