I read Doorways in its Analog serialization. So much fun. I think it's the book that introduced me to Zelazny.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"To Die in Italbar" is another lesser-known book. The planet-creators are a neat idea.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
The first Zelazny book I read was ROADMARKS, which I understand is fairly obscure as well. I liked the cover and the despcription on the back sounded like it had a good premise (it did).

"Roadmarks" is another one of those that made me go, "How does he think of this stuff?" He must have been driving down a freeway some day, saw some infrequently used off ramps, and then his mind went from there.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I started with Nine Princes In Amber and that hooked me pretty hard.

The status is NOT quo.
I just want you all to know that innocently following that link to the Magic Fart yesterday has caused amazon.com to think I would really, really enjoy Piers Anthony's Pornocopia.
Thanks a lot.

I can't even.

It was Nine Princes with me and that led me to, well, everything I could get my hands on, you know the drill. I really enjoy Roadmarks too.

I picked that up last year, but haven't gotten around to it. Not sure what to do with my individual copies. I never did get through the second chronicles.

It had diminishing returns for me. I did like the second and third books, but after that my interest trailed into indifference.
Still, Lord of Light rocks. Also, "Rose for Ecclesiastes."
