I love those Lin Carter covers. I am also quite fond of that "Best of..." series. So many treasures here, Gavin!

I’m finding stuff I’ve all but forgotten!

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

I was wondering why it was your favourite book and then..... oh I see! Best wishes.

[@GenreBooks23]

Ta!

Lin Carter is probably the name I hear the most in SF that I've never read, that guy must have been a workaholic. Farmer is another one I need to check out. The only hint of organisation I have is I put most of my penguins together, and all of my SF masterworks. Otherwise I just try to put similar sized things together.

Carter was definitely a busy boy, so many editing duties. Not always the best writer, but not as bad as his reputation!

Cool book!

[@GenreBooks23]

Cheers!

I bought World in Peril a few weeks ago, because I recognised Charles Chilton from Journey into Space. However, I didn't discover until I got home it was a novelisation of an episode of Journey into Space.

Given that they were broadcast in the 50s and lost until the 80s, they definitely served a purpose. I’ve never listened to them; are they any good?

[@arronjameshook]

@@GenreBooks23 Journey into Space is well worth a listen. You can see where it influenced the style of Dr Who' storytelling during the early Tom Baker years.

The first Rama book is the best. Gentry Lee does well after that but there is a big difference between him and Clarke. Also, I think the ending was decent enough for the character but the overall concept was a lost opportunity.

[@GenreBooks23]

I think by the time you are in book four of something like Rama, you might end up struggling. Still, I like the “big dumb object” kind of story!
