Books I've Read

Book Two in the Wind On Fire trilogy. Bowman, Kestrel, and Mumpo precipitate great events in The Mastery, and Mist may or may not have learned to fly.

Book One in the Wind On Fire trilogy. Twins Bowman and Kestrel, and hanger-on Mumpo try to save their city from the dreaded army of Zars. Among other tasks. Good story, moves right along, and I'm working on volume two now.

A guy goes back and forth in time. Lots and lots of tears. Lots of great quotes, I'll just pick this one.

Charlie apparently located his father, FINALLY, in book five, which I haven't read yet, as the public library deigns to have it available. This is book six. Asa has disappeared, Charlie gets a hot kettle, finds a sacred sword hilt, and there's a boy who smells like fish.

Charlie helps out Billy with the parent-thing, but it STILL isn't resolved, and neither is Charlie's!

Charlie FINALLY has the answer to, and resolves, you-know-what, in this, the fifth book in the series.

I didn't read Book Two yet, but in this, Book Three, Charlie STILL hasn't figured out the obvious, that it, who his father is, but he DOES help invisible Ollie find his way back normalcy, and HIS family, so all in all, a good job.

Book seven, and we are not anywhere near finished here. Charlie travels to Badlock several times. The Pet's Cafe is closed down temporarily, and the storm boy is thought to be drowned. And Charlie's parents are off sailing, somewhere.

Charlie's cousin from the past appears via a magic marble.

First in the Children Of The Red King series. Charlie is sent off to the mostly awful Bloor Academy and restores a girl who is memory is clouded. I feel like shouting, "Charlie, the quiet and confused piano teacher is probably your missing father!!!" Charlie hasn't figured it out by the end of book one, maybe he will get a clue, in book two. Hey, it rhymes!

21 short science fiction stories. Some good ones here.

Louis Wu visit a world in the shape of a...GIANT RING!!!

Third book in the Ringworld series. Ok, Ok, so I read the series before! That doesn't mean I can't read a book again!

I read this before, serialized in Galileo magazine, way back in the late 70s. Found the magazines in my garage, read it again.

Three stories that are prequels to Ringworld.

Guy keeps dying and being reborn (to the same parents) with memories intact. It was OK, but didn't really grab me. Good ending, though.

Quite a number of little stories of people (mostly men!) eliminating themselves from the gene pool.

Mutant Fors explores his post-holocaust world. I first read this in third grade. Original title "Star Man's Son".

Three stories comprise the second book of the Witch World series. Contents: Three against the Witch World -- Warlock of the Witch World -- Sorceress of the Witch World.

"Exotic gems and valuable oils were the lures that brought the space trader Solar Queen to the new planet Sargol"... An Ace paperback, cover price 40 cents!! Found this and two others on a bus stop one morning!
