Location: UK		I've just finished The Time Traders by Andre Norton for 1958. It was a reasonably entertaining lightweight adventure story. I'd previously read The Big Time and A Case of Conscience for this year, neither of which are big favourites of mine, so I guess it's looking a bit of a weak year, so far.

Just 1959 to go, and it's now the only year until 1971 for which I don't actually own anything. I've read five of the nine books of 1959, proportionally my best year of the decade. At the moment, I'm thinking The Enemy Stars is my most likely choice, since I can get hold of it easily and cheaply from SF Gateway. I'm slightly amazed that I've had the willpower to hold off buying it until I'm ready to ready to read it, but I figured it's an ebook. It's not going anywhere.
