And I guess it was important to set the stage. I have a tendency to find an author I like and then read all his stuff, then move on to another. Some are better than others, some are just ok for a diversion. I started reading Christopher Stasheff recently. He’s in the OK category but I got online and bought all of his books in the series second hand for less than $20 so that’ll keep me going awhile.
