Lensmen, yes. Im going to get to them soon. But I have read very little Williamson. Most of what I have read is from very late in his career.

That one is in the pile, actually. I just bought it a few days ago, and had forgotten about it until you mentioned it.Robspierre wrote:Pick up a copy of his The Humanoids, robot empire out to eradicate humans, it still holds up today I think.

has a anyone read all the books in this series, or more than this one at least? Ive read a few, and dont think that they are as good, but most of the ones I have read are from much later. Im wondering how good the immediate four or five successors to this one are?

Omph, I've read a slew of the John Carter books a looooong time ago, and I
remember being pretty entertained but thinking they were still pretty cheesy.
Wish I could remember more but I can't. I know that in other books he
encounters "white" Martians and "black" Martians.

Ive heard that in some of the middle books Burroughs introduces some tech that is pretty prophetic. That kind of interests me, but the belief that they get really cheesy kind of puts me off.

So its good dump-fodder, huh? I shall acquire and suitably place the books in the crappatorium! I imagine there is nothing quite a satisfying as reading about hot, egg-laying Martian chicks while squeezing out an obscene one, right?

with heavy or dense reading material. Something gets lost in the process.

I must disagree. I am a big ERB fan and while his books may not be exactly Dunesque type literature They are damn fun to read if a bit dated. They deserve better than the 'Terlet libary' get a series called the bathroom reader.Omphalos wrote:So its good dump-fodder, huh? I shall acquire and suitably place the books in the crappatorium!

Just how long does it take you to poop anyway?

Yea Way too much dude!
Most of the aliens we have met in our exploration of the galaxy consider humans to be quite tasty. Well I say, If they have no problem with consuming another sentient being then I have no problem with blasting them into a pile of ashes.
