Location: UK		Does anyone want this challenge extending? Or is everyone happy for it to expire at the end of the year?

I just finished this challenge this week. Looking forward to moving on to the 60s.

Interesting finds: I enjoyed Philip k. Dick and Alfred Bester, I think the only reason Bester isn't a bigger name is that he has so few sci fi novels.

Disappointments: James Blish and Gordon Dickson. Usually I don't mind religion in my sci fi, but I found A case of Conscience boring. And Dorsai! has been on my shelf for years, but the wait wasn't worth it. I'd rather reread Starship Troopers.

I've gotten out of the habit of checking the forums. I think it's okay to close the 1950s at the end of the year. I think I need to just start again with a newer forum.
