Just re-reading some of RB's books and reading others for the first time. So was interested to find this thread.

I wasn't even around in the 1960s, but I like his stuff. The writing is well crafted, unsentimental and has some subtle humour. Often little jokes that are easy to miss.

'In Watermelon Sugar' I found genuinely strange. That said, 'The Hawkline Monster' felt a bit forced to me.
