It’s another Ace double from the old days. I bought the book because John Brunner has a book on the other side. I didn’t really know who David Grinnell was. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was legendary…

WHAT I’M READING NOW: NO WORLD OF THEIR OWN by Poul Anderson
I’ve never been much for Poul Anderson, but this book looks really cool. It also helps that this is an Ace double, meaning on this side of the book is NO WORLD OF THEIR OWN, and if you flip it…

WHAT I’M READING NOW: WORLD WITHOUT MEN by Charles Eric Maine

WHAT I’M READING NOW: THE TOUGH GUYS by Mickey Spillane

I’ve never tried out Lem’s work before, but holy shit, this is great so far!
WHAT I’M READING NOW: AFTERSHOCK by Andrew Vachss and GET A LIFE! by William Shatner (and Chris Kreski)
Of course I’m going to read the new Vachss novel. There’s no doubt about that. And I’ve always wanted to get around to Shatner’s exploration of STAR TREK conventions.
