Thanks for recommending Jude’s. I really enjoyed reading it. Sometimes it felt like I was reading a comic book or watching an old Batman episode on tv. It was a fun diversion.

The Crystal Crypt and Beyond The Door are really good.

I am reading a collection of short stories by Philip Dick. The stories are really good!

I cannot load the memoir on my kindle. They say the book is not available in this country

I have not read his memoir but will now. I have read Dahlgren and Captives of the Flame. Many say Dahlgren is hard to follow. It is the best material on describing what mental health issues are like. I had a family member who had mental problems when I was younger and Dahlgren helped me understand.

I kept wondering what a story would look like if Eudora Welty and Samuel Delaney wrote one together. Small town mental health issues versus urban mental health issues.

I finally finished Eudora Welty Collected Stories. I think 2 volumes would have better than 1. Most of the stories were very good but after awhile some of seemed a little dull, especially the Golden Apples section.

I started the Collected Stories of Eudora Welty. I have just read 5 or 6 so far. They are all good and interesting. But so far I really liked The Key.

The steak sandwich is legendary. My favorite is the Chicken Vesuvio sandwich.

I loaded it on my kindle.

I have been reading the golden age of science stuff lately. In particular I have been reading stories from Poul Anderson and Lester Del Rey. I really enjoyed reading Brain Wave and thinking about how the world would change if the animals and humans suddenly got smarter.

It is me!!

Just finished Battle on Mercury by Lester Del Rey
