Well, you've read a lot more that I haven't than I have that you haven't.

I read They'd Rather Be Right (or at least parts of it) when it came out in ASF. I was subscribing then; it was Astounding then, not Analog.

I have a copy of This Immortal. I don't think it quite as good as Lord of Light, but pretty close. It does a similar thing for Greek mythology that LoL does for Hindu mythology. And that Creatures of Light and Darkness tried to do for Egyptian, but not as successfully. I tried to read the last 35 years ago, but failed. I recently picked up a copy and tried again, with better success, but decided I was wiser earlier.

I picked up both V Vinge books a bit ago, but haven't got to reading them yet.

I made it all the way through the first Harry Potter book. I've sampled most of the others, heavily at times, but haven't made it all the way through.

Impressive list.

It's been a while since I read it, but I remember enjoying the Kate Wilhelm.

Wow you've read lots of them, most even? And own one you haven't read yet! Why not? ;-p

By the way, I never knew that Alfred Bester was a science fiction author, winner of the first Hugo even -- not just the name of crazy psi guy on Babylon 5. ;-)
