Now Reading:
Long work - The Stainless Steel Rat - Harrison

The Stainless Steel Rat    Harry Harrison        e 3
Futuristic super criminal. A bit over the top. Enjoyable pot boiler.
March 2014
The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge Harry Harrison Not Finished.
A bit over the top. Too similar to its predecessor.
 When I first read these last century from the library, I just loved
them. Are they a first reading for you?
 
They are, and I am greatly enjoying this one.
When I started reading this newsgroup in the mid-1990s, it didn't take long for me to realize I had a pretty non-standard introduction to SF - at least non-standard compared to almost everyone on the group at the time. As two examples (of many), I've never read a Heinlein juvie, nor a Norton, and when I tried to catch up in my 30s, they simply did not work for me. At all.
But over the many years, I have circled back to read a lot of the works I missed, and the Harrison just popped up the other night.
Fun stuff so far,
Tony
