Classic Sci-Fi Challenge 4

EE "Doc" Smith's "Triplanetary" served double duty in the challenge department. For my self-imposed task of reading new authors in the genre of classic sci-fi, progress has been steady, enlightening and thoroughly enjoyable. Although this particular novel was less than impressive (my opinion alone, of course ... and there are thousands out there that disagree with me), the whole idea of enjoying new authors has proven exciting.

Here's my progress on the challenge so far. Completed titles are highlighted in red italics:

1. Lest Darkness Fall - L Sprague de Camp
2. The Voyage of the Space Beagle - AE van Vogt
3. A Mirror for Observers - Edgar Pangborn
4. The Best of Stanley G Weinbaum - Stanley Weinbaum
5. Earthman's Burden - Poul Anderson & Gordon Dickson
6. Triplanetary - EE "Doc" Smith
7. Dying Inside - Robert Silverberg
8. Tales of the Dying Earth - Jack Vance
9. Cities in Flight - James Blish

Up next is L Sprague de Camp's "Lest Darkness Fall". I've been looking forward to this one for a long time.
