    Browsing someone else’s bookshelves is fun. Lots of interesting finds. I may even get around to reading one or two titles, not on my usual reading list.

    As you may note, a majority of the books are Science Fiction, and a famous Science Fiction author, Theodore Sturgeon was once challenged by the statement …

    “Surely,you can’t possibly deny. 90% of Sci-Fi is trash!”

    Theodore Sturgeon unhesitatingly agreed with this opinion, then added …

    “But then, it can be said. 90% of EVERYTHING is trash.”

    This became known as Sturgeon’s Law.

    And finding the other 10% that’s in here, is a quest to relished.

    Enjoy!

    Book count now 768 …

    … but, undoubtedly, will be higher before the next upload.

    Book count now 1016 …
    … AND all the silly database errors have been corrected. The covers and write-ups were downloaded from various sites (Amazon et al.) and contained some really weird junk in the sub-title section. Also, so many books had the publishers name stuck in after the title (they have their own section).

    All in all, a bit tidier.

    Only a few thousand more to come!
