Location: UK		Paul,repeat after me the mantra,''So many books,so little time.'' I too am reading quite a few of the Masterworks series. They are often a bit difficult,demanding reads,but I am relishing it. I've now read 54 books off the list,with several more to come this year. I did read Tau Zero,but I have to admit I found it,like so much hard SF a bit stodgy and dry to read. At the moment I am reading Blish's A Case of Conscience off the list,and it is a bit slow going with lots of abstruse religion and philosophic speculative ideas involved.. I also have Kurt Vonnegut's Sirens of Titan due to read this month. I am happy that someone at the library headquarters seems to be supplying quite a few of the latest edition of this series. About 4 years ago I checked out the stock and they only had 11 books off the list,but this year alone I have read at least half a dozen in a new printing. Yay for that library staff member,poor old SF is normally the Cinderella when it comes to acquiring new stock!
