Sandra,

I also have a collection of Andre Norton books. I haven't read them for at least 20 years, but I enjoyed every one of them. I stopped reading fantasy & sci-fi about then and I think I'm about to get back into it again.

I've been recommending some of my favourite authors to the work colleague who is now the owner of the Godel, Escher & Bach book. Now I am starting to get the urge to re-read some of them. (Ursula Le Guin, CJ Cherryh, Louise Cooper, Alan Garner, Lloyd Alexander, etc etc.)

Oh,I forgot, I am also halfway through TH White's The Once & Future King - a satisfyingly deep book, once you get past the deceptively light first section.

I don't really have a system to choose which books to read at any particular time, but I have a large collection, mostly secondhand, and I am never short of a book (or three) to choose.

Helen
