LAST 6 BOOKS READ

1) Houston,Houston, Do You Read? by James Tiptree Jr: Interesting tale,
actually a novella, about astronauts who go through a time warp and
find a future of no men.
2) Souls by Joanna Russ: Vikings plunder an abbey; but the abbess
is an alien.
3) Kipling's Works Vol.II by Rudyard Kipling: Contains 'The Phantom Rickshaw'
and other tales of life in Colonial India. Interesting stuff, including
some ghost stories, and also the story 'The Man Who Would Be King', later
made into the movie with Michael Caine & Sean Connery.
4) A Case Of Lone Star by Kinky Freidman: Kinky goes after the 'Hank
Williams Killer' in his latest adventure in NYC. Enjoyable mystery
with a touch of humor.
5) University by Bentley Little: More demented stuff from one of the better
horror writers. What if the University you went to was evil...not
the people, the buildings themselves?
6) The Thieves Of Heaven by Richard Doetsch: Reformed thief steals the Keys
of St Peter in order to save his wife. Interesting twist on the whole DaVinci
Code genre.
