Location: UK		I've just finished Star Surgeon by James White for 1963. A bit sexist (women's minds can't handle the alien physiology tapes, sorry) but fun. Very short, at 156 pages, but didn't feel quite that short. I've enjoyed both the sector general books (since I also read Hospital Station a couple of months ago in preparation for this), and wouldn't mind reading more, if I can find any.

I had previously only read Way Station by Simak from 1963's selection, and possibly the PKD. I can never remember which PKD novels I've read and which I haven't.

Next up, for 1964, is The Planet Buyer by Cordwainer Smith. This is just something I randomly found at a second-hand shop, and not something I have particularly chosen myself. I don't really know what to expect.
