The Stars, My Destination
“The Stars, My Destination”
Gully Foyle lives!
Yess! The best SF story I ever read, I think, although Pohl Anderson's Brain Wave is up there too. Both were novellas, not actual novels.
Most Arthur Clark, A Canticle for Leibowitz are up there too.
Some Heinlein is up there too. Some is not.
I happened to have liked A Torrent of Faces by Blish and Knight. I liked it so much, I ordered a used copy of it on Amazon. Not nearly as good as a 60-year-old as it was as a 13-year-old. Oh well.
Also the novel Nova by Samuel R. Delany was quite good. Contained this line, which I will always remember:
"While I will grasp at night and morning, I will win the noon."
Awesome book!
