I had the cult movies book long ago. Interesting combination of mainstream and oddball films.

You get free books from the library?

You get free books from the library?

Yes. People drop them off rather than donating them to a thrift shop and many come from the library itself for one reason or another.

Well that's cool

Got this today. The cover was a guess as the site had no image for it (Abebooks) and I paid a bit more than I'd normally pay for an old paperback, but it's been hard to find and its the next in the series to read.

OT:Anyone have a Poul Anderson recommendation? I liked TAU ZERO.

I find Poul Anderson a strange one; he has a lot of very pulpy novels alongside some much more serious hard SF ones. The latter being what interest me most. My favourites are Tau Zero, The Boat of a Million Years and The Enemy Stars. Bear in mind that these all would have been very serious hard SF when they were written if a little softer now after many years of advancing science.

The High Crusade shows Anderson in a lighter mode. Aliens invade Earth during medieval times, and the humans outwit them and even take their starship for their own use.

The Dominic Flandry series.

I found those a bit too pulpy for my taste really! But YMMV!
