Location: Fort Myers, Florida USA		Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon

This is not an easy read; unique and interesting, but not easy or fun. I read it because it is on one of our lists (Locus Best SF Novels of All-Time) which I am closing in on. I didn't really enjoy it all that much. It was a bit of a chore to read. Aloof and impersonal.

The library book that I have is a double novel, containing also Star Maker by Stapledon. It also is on the same list. I'm not eager to read more Stapledon just yet. Does anyone here have an opinion about it?
