Y'all are like literary soul-brothers of mine. I don't usually talk about the older stuff I read when I first got interested in sci-fi.

I discovered sci-fi immediately after absorbing R. Sidney Bowen's Red Randall and Dave Dawson ww2 books and the Al Avery "A Yank" ww2 books + DC Comics + Four Color/Dell Comics On my older cousin's bookshelf at my Grandmothers where he'd stayed a couple years, I found his Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan and Pellucidar and John Carter books - some Howard, Lieber, Bester, L Sprague de Camp, Fredric Brown and C. Simak. And off I went on my reading adventure of a lifetime
