Gift … on my Amazon Wish List as a total cover buy … 🖤

RamsFan1963 I keep seeing this at BAM, I'm going to pull the trigger and buy the darn thing, even if I don't read it for months. 2mo
Twainy @RamsFan1963 months … it might be years for me. My MBR is so huge! 😆 I might read it slowly over time. 2mo
RamsFan1963 @Twainy I was trying to be optimistic. I use such a random selection method to pick my next TBR shelf read, it could easily be years 2mo

Twainy @RamsFan1963 since I go through a book a day …. MBR … might be read … I usually have a list to choose from of like 40-60 a month … I add library & new editions at the drop of the hat. I just picked up 3 Indie Horror books and 3 ARCs. At the end of the month I take the unread & move them to the next month and load a bunch more. I feel like I have access to endless books 😁 2mo
TieDyeDude I\'ve had Dangerous Visions on my TBR for a bit now. I love that cover! 2mo
Twainy @TieDyeDude that trilogy of books is absolutely fluorescent! Review!!! So we can see if we need to read them also. 😁 2mo

A Greatest hits? Ellison is somewhat a rock-star, the irascible, messy type, like Jonny Rotten or Axl Rose but with talent. It seems he could be a massive asshole. Appropriately, current Lord of Assholia, Neil Gaiman, did an intro (which I skipped). When Ellison hits, his work is exciting and visceral; experimental and fun. A couple of his misses are in this collection, they‘re dull and recondite. A great fathers-day gift from my daughter @she_she

Bookwomble I've not read much by Ellison, and what I've read about him is not endearing, but he said one of my favourite things: "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your *informed* opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.” 4mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble He‘s certainly divisive. He was on the correct site of the civil rights movement and he was against the war in Vietnam, but he basically sexually assaulted Connie Willis in the name of “banter” and, for reasons I can‘t find on the internet, misguidedly supported an accused peodophile who subsequently turned out to be guilty. Of the new-wave sci-fi authors he‘s probably up there with Dick but it seems his legacy is not quite as wrought 4mo
