17 books total. I'm still a *little* behind spur's ratio, but at least I'm reading :-)
I enjoyed them so much that I don't even know what to say about them... :-) If I had to rank a top 5 or so, it would be:
1) Solar Lottery
1) Stranger in a Strange Land
1) Fire Upon the Deep
1) 2010 - Odyssey Two
1) The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy
And no, all those ones aren't a glitch :-) I just can't make up my mind :-)
The difference between the first half and second half is so stark I half suspect the author killed a grad student, stole his work, and realized too late that it wasn't finished and so tried to finish it on his own. Ok, so maybe not, but still, it's was odd to see how badly the story degenerated.
