Hey Wiggo. Do you know about the two other book in the Spellsinger serie? Books seven and eight?

Yes I do Admiral so when I get time I'll checkout a couple of 2nd hand book stores in town to see if they have them.

Also after checking out the E. E. Smith list I've found a few holes there as well and Clifford D. Simak has a few other books to go with the 1 here also.

Cheers.

"Is Math Real?" by Eugenia Cheng. How simple questions lead us to mathematics'
deepest truths. A different approach to what I've been used to; but, will see.

Swamp Story by Dave Barry.

Jesse Braddock is trapped in a tiny cabin deep in the Everglades with her infant daughter and her ex-boyfriend, a wannabe reality TV star who turned out to be a lot prettier on the outside than on the inside. Broke and desperate for a way out, Jesse stumbles across a long-lost treasure, which could solve all her problems—if she can figure out how to keep it. The problem is, some very bad men are also looking for the treasure, and they know Jesse has it.

Meanwhile, Ken Bortle of Bortle Brothers Bait and Beer has hatched a scheme to lure tourists to his failing store by making viral videos of the “Everglades Melon Monster.” The Monster is in fact an unemployed alcoholic newspaperman named Phil wearing a Dora the Explorer costume head. Incredibly, this plan actually works, inspiring a horde of TikTokers to swarm into the swamp in search of the monster at the same time villains are on the hunt for Jesse’s treasure. Amid this mayhem, a presidential hopeful arrives in the Everglades to start his campaign. Needless to say, it does not go as planned. In fact, nothing in this story goes as planned. This is, after all, Florida.

Well I finally finished the 16 E.E. 'Doc' Smith books that my missus had squirreled away (I havn't had a lot of time for reading lately with other projects going on here), but there's some holes in amongst them that I'll have to try and fill in, so it's time to put them back in the library and see what else she was hiding in there.

I'll be in town back near the end of this month so I'll hit up the 2nd hand book store again to see what they have in there as my list of books to get is only growing longer. I'll also have to hang some more bookshelves in the library so that I have room for them and future 1's.

I do think that I'm going to have to make myself some book clamps and apply part of my actual trade to some of these books 1 day.

[edit] I've done the book swap and search revealing 25 Micheal Moorcock books (only 4 being of reasonable sizes) which I'll try and sort out after I do a bit more out in the backyard (it's that time of year here).

Cheers.

Well there's another lot of book titles that need to be added to my ever growing list of books that are required to complete series. :-(

There are also a lot of all together missing series as well as some that have been thrown together into 1 book under slightly different names and to make matters worse Michael Moorcock's bibliography isn't the easiest to go through, but I got through it in the end. ;-)

Anyhow I'll read the complete series 1st before I think about doing the broken jobs.

Cheers.

Orson Scott Card: Ender's Game

"Our Moon", by Rebecca Boyle. How Earth's celestial companion transforms the planet, guided
evolution, and made us who we are. An excellent read, thus far!

Just finished Orson Scott Card's 'Speaker for the Dead'. Next Arthur C. Clarke's '3001 The Final Odyssey'.

I'm still going through my missus' collection of Moorcock books of which I'm at about halfway done, but many gaps have already been revealed with many more to come. :-(

And I'm still not a fan of those little "train station books" of which a lot of my missus' collection consists of, and of all gaps that she left behind for me to fill, but I'm battling my way through them.

Also I'm going to have to get myself a new pocket note book as my scraps of paper with lists of missing books is getting out of control now and some order needs to be restored there.

By the time that I fill all these gaps I'm either going to need more bookshelves or I could get rid of several dozen old cookbooks and well out of date reference books. The later sounds a better solution as expanding the size of the library for more shelves to go into it would prove to be very difficult and I can trade those books at the 2nd hand bookshop to fill some of those gaps as well.

Anyhow I'm reading "The Dancers At The End of Time" ATM, at least it combines 3 little books into 1.

Cheers.

Arthur C. Clarke's '3001 The Final Odyssey'.

I have read this book. I think that another book might be possible. Just waiting for the metaphorical other shoe to fall.

"Indigenous Continent", by Pekka Hamalainen. "Indigenous Continent" presents a sweeping counternarrative that shatters
the most basic assumptions about the North American past.

So says the book; I'll read and see. . .

Sounds very interesting. I've been learning a lot about this subject by watching documentaries as well as the movie "Killers of the Flower Moon" (also a book).

"Killers of the Flower Moon" -- another good book, Susie Q. Have read it, some time ago.

"The Allure of the Multiverse", by Paul Halpern. Extra dimensions, other worlds, and
Parallel Universes.

Something to think about.

Robert L. Forward: "Dragon's Egg". Hardcore sci-fi.
