RE: SoulStone
Yah, but that was the best of Blish IMHO. That's what gives him his place in the scifi author's ranking table, also IMHO.

I read it maybe fifty years ago...dunno if I'd like to read it again.
I've done that with some 'old favorites'...hasn't turned out well.
different time...different standards..
I know what you mean. I rarely re-read, with the exception of truly magical classics. Re-reading "Stranger in a Strange Land" or the "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" (maybe 5x for each in 50 years) never disappoints me but there is too much new mind blowing stuff out there that I rather look for the next one.
I don't want to embarass you but I'm going to rave about Soulstone for a while. That's gonna leave a mark.
Regards,
Rick
PS Only re-read "Cities in Flight" once. It was ok the 2nd time around.
PPS Hey, congrats! Just noticed your (rep) went from (72) to (73) today. I think you and @bashadow had an exchange about how the rep worked and who might be first to (100). Were you guys serious that each increment is a log scale jump?
yup.
rep is logrithmic.
forex...65 is one hundred times harder to get than 64.
Wow, so when I compare your (73) to my (38) it seems it would be appropriate for me to genuflect in your presence. ;-)
Thanks,
Rick
er...no.
you're welcome anyway
