What I have just read has just supplanted number three. Perhaps even number two.

For the moment, I feel...

The Best of Fritz Leiber
AuthorFritz Leiber

Fritz Leiber's work bridges the gap between the pulp era of H. P. Lovecraft and the Paperback era of Philip K. Dick, and arguably, is as influential as both these authors.

Time And The Gods
AuthorLord Dunsany

I can scarcely say how much I admire the way Lord Dunsany distills the seizing (and subsequent paralysis) of the mind by an idea, then assaults that hold with some stark realisation. But the characters are never aware of the ironies, they simply play out in the narrative, which is what so successfully...
