I read these collections of short stories years ago, very entertaining;
Tales of Pirx the Pilot and More Tales of Pirx the Pilot.
I recently read Return from the Stars, worth a read.Comment

I've read them all. Some of them can be a bit turgid but I can highly recommend Fiasco. Very clever. Solaris is not bad.
When I eventually get some grandchildren I will also add The Cyberiad to their bedtime reading list....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

It would have to be one of the most expensive DVDs I've ever bought, over £25!Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
