What a wonderful collection of books, Gavin! I love that SF Masterworks series. This event could easily go all summer and not just in July.

Indeed, some tough choices ahead!

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. You have some beautiful editions of some of those books. I love those old covers. Looking forward to next week’s episode already 😊

I did all 4 weeks back to back, felt I was losing the plot by the end!

[@michaelk.vaughan8617]

Excellent possibilities all!

I have read some of these writers -- Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Bloch, Henry Kuttner, Frederic Brown and Jack Finney. But not their science fiction:)

With Clarke it’s the only thing I have read, the others have horror, thriller etc. All recommended though!
