[NotAllThere]

Notre Dame de Paris (English translation). I may be some time!

[DoctorStrangelove]

Next: "The Revolt in 2100" by R. A. Heinlein. I think this is the last of the Future History short stories in my collection since I don't have "Universe".

Done! At long last! Off to Oxfam with it!.

Next: "Methuselah's Children (1958)" by R. A. Heinlein. Let's hope this one progresses more quickly than the last.

[DoctorStrangelove]

Next: "The Stainless Steel Rat" by Harry Harrison (1961).

The birth of the .75 recoilless. .

Done: off to Oxfam with it.

Next: "The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge" by H. Harrison (1970).

[DoctorStrangelove]

Next: "The Complete (or Compleat) Robot" by I. Asimov.

As it transpires a fair few of these stories appeared in "Nightfall I&II" so can be skipped as being much too familiar to bother with again.

The Susan Calvin stories seem to have stuck for the moment.

Interested to see a mention of her in "Robbie" which was written in 1940.

Then again "Liar" was written in 1941.

Done: off to Oxfam with it!

Next: "The Bicentennial Man" by I. Asimov. As it transpires, a fair few of these stories appeared in "The Complete Robot" and thusly may be skipped as being too familiar to bother with again*.

*Aside from that I probably have to look up which ones appeared where & when & any back references cause the positronic pathways to fuse a bit.

Done: off to Oxfam with it. Not a stunningly inneresting collection it must be said. "Waterclap" was a bit prescient.

Next: "Neutron Star" by L. Niven.

Done: off to Oxfam with it.

Next: "The Stainless Steel Rat wants you" by H. Harrison (1978).
