    <body><![CDATA[One of Zelazny's better books.  If I recall correctly it is about the Earth being preserved after an alien invasion.

    <body><![CDATA[_This Immortal_ was my first sci-fi book. At first I had trouble getting into it (too many strange names and places), but once I did, I found that it was a good story. Zelazny's writing style takes some getting used to. He makes quite a few references to classical literature or mythology. Much of it...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42143224">more...</a>]]></body>
