Location: UK		Well, it turned out that I enjoyed The Joy Makers. There's probably some kind of wordplay in that... no, I can't see it.

I was intending to read Hospital Station by James White next, in preparation for Star Surgeon later in this challenge, but I decided that was a collection and therefore moved it onto my daily short-story track, deciding to read The Joy Makers as my main novel instead. (Joy Makers is also a fix-up, but but is presented less like a collection.) It was very readable, and the books are still pretty short in the early 60s, so it only took me a couple of days to get through.

i notice that some people are already pretty much done with this challenge. If someone else wants to start a 70s challenge, feel free. I don't want to create it myself, yet, since I don't want it to sit there with 0/10 books read for months until I catch up. If someone else creates it, I don't have to join until I'm ready.
