TSMD was one of the first sci-fi books I read. It was a slow starter but it's just ... Brilliant!

Brilliant, Amazing, and several other adjectives that I'm too lazy to write. I first read it in "A Treasury of Great Science Fiction, volume 2". It's the only story from that volume that I really enjoyed and re-read often. Volume 1, however! It has great stories like "Re-birth" by John Wyndham, "The Father-Thing" by Philip K. Dick, "The [Widget], the [Wadget], and Boff" by Theodore Sturgeon, and a few other stories that were also quite good.
A couple of years ago, I manged to pick up the graphic novel on ebay. It was a little disappointing, but still a good try....

Oh, that might be worth keeping a look-out for ... I'd love to see someone elses impression of the Burning Man. But i'll certainly heed your warning and not get my hopes up.Originally posted by warmbeachbrat View Post
