Of those four day of the Trippers was my favorite probably followed by 2001 then iRobot which isn't that strong a story honestly and then the demolished Man by Alfred best which seemed quite old-fashioned to me because yeah class sort of 50s aesthetic to it I thought not that I was really equipped to be that critical age 10 or 11 whatever it was that I was but anyway I really enjoyed them and I read them kind of again and again and again

Loved

of the first four my favorite is probably Mort which is if you haven't read it is um more is a kid who's taken on by death as an apprentice and death has a horse called Binky

Loved

I remember being a bit Blown Away by the scale of it and the fact that just how much kind of surface area there is if you were actually to build a ring world in the way that it's it's laid out in this book it's huge

it starts with The Immortal line the man in Black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed there's so much packed into that sentence who is the man in Black why is he fleeing um who's the Gunslinger wiser a gunslinger I thought this was a science fiction book and why is heena Desert I really love these books

I re I read and reread these short stories and they're probably objectively a bit rubbish but I um through a modern eye but I really love them and was kind of transported to to a different world every time I read one of them
