In the later books, as I remember the author seemed to get away from the plot more and more and spent as much time on his philosopjy.... where the early books are a fast and enjoyable read, the later ones became.... again as I recall... a bit of an effort.
Just started a re-read of John Norman's GOR series, beginning with Tarnsman of Gor. I first read these in the early 1970s.,. these books and some readingos onm eveloutionary psychology have greatly influenced me. I often have sone non-fiction ogoing on at the same time... I juts finished Wallace D. Wattles "The Science of Getting Rich" a few days ago,
Since this is the closest we ever get (I hope!) to a zombie apocalypse, I can recommend John Ringo's Black Tide Rising series. From Wikipedia:
Black Tide Rising
Series based on a zombie apocalypse, but dealing with living, near-rabid, infected humans rather than the living dead. The story centers around a family of survivalists (mother, father, and two teenage daughters) who get early warning of the plague and escape by boat, only to realize that they are the best hope for others stranded at sea.
OK, with all this time on our hands, I do hope we are getting some good reading time in. I have been reading a lot of Eric Flints's Ring of Fire series, but decided on a new read - Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. For a Russian writing English for, what I think was the second time, his images are amazing.
