Good stuff from old favorites. Some to be read and some to be reread. ( )

It's a pretty good collection of classics. Most hold up well, but that just might be me talking. ( )

Mistitled: they are stories not novels. Maybe even paragraphs in a Stephen King novel. They are great stories though! This is quite a varied collection of good old fashioned SciFi. It is always fun to see things that are prophetic and also things that are off the mark. The tidbit that made me smile was only an aside to the story: mention of a switchboard and a telephone operator. ( )
