79311 hahaha. right. Who says that? Though I guess this is the Completist's Club, so maybe we're the only target audience of that comment.

79311 I finally read The Dispossessed! Finished today. In between, I read all of the other Hainish novels written pre-1980 except City of Illusion (and that soon!)

79311 However, there's a chance there's a stray letter in the thread title.
Jul 12, 2018 09:41AM

79311 I think I'm on board with this one, even only have read and enjoyed 98,6 and Death of the Novel so far.

79311 A thread that has not been updated since before I began reading Carter? She deserves better! I appreciate this thread, though, for pointing out that I've still read fewer than half of her novels, and even less of the collections.

79311 Seeing as this is a dead thread by a deleted user, I'll bounce this to say that I'm taking it up. I'm working backwards through the novels, then on (soon!) to the collections.

79311 Yes! I think til now, I had the sole review of Four of Fools, so I'm glad for the (much more complete) company now!

79311 Excellent! I should really be getting back to her given how much I loved both The Stain and Netsuke, however placed at the opposite poles of her literary output. I've only read half of the novels, and none of her essays, stories, or poetry.

79311 There's a newer Roadside Picnic translation form a year or two ago that is still in print -- and most excellent.

Definitely looking forward to checking out more of their works now. So exciting that two of their novels just came back into print this year!

79311 Quite. There's a definite continuity, but she altered her style and became more experimental from Asylum Piece on.
Don DeLillo (12 new)

79311 Yeah, I actually found Underworld pretty bloated and ponderous. Some fabulous stand-alone sections, though, granted. White Noise is all highlights, however.

79311 skipped over an important detail there: no W&M, just Lookout Cartridge, but it sounds pretty interesting.

79311 A couple weeks ago, I found a nice old hardcover (first edition?!) on the street in a box outside the grocery store. So that will be the first of these that I read.

79311 Very good, I've even seen copies of those around. I'd be interested to read your translations, as well, if you've made those public somehow.

79311 So having loved Paysan and Telemachus I'm now rather desperate for more. Any other key prose works I should be running down? Was the complete l'infini ever translated?
Ishmael Reed (14 new)

79311 In time, I will. I just didn't want to start with it!

79311 I'm probably just a sucker for painted covers. From the 60s. But yeah, I'll definitely be continuing with Reed. Especially now that I'm over the hurdle of having accidentally picked up Terrible Threes at a Dalkey sale only to find out that that would be the worst place to start.

79311 Freelance Pallbearers is great. Maybe I'll go all chronological on this. Plus, the 1969 Bantam I stumbled on looks like this in best 60s-book-design mode:

79311 The Song of Styrene! It really is so great.

79311 Not actually me back there, but Elizabeth!
