I really liked Last and First Men. It grew on me. I wasn't enjoying it at first, because I couldn't identify with what was going on, but then I realized that "humanity" was the protagonist, and then it was awesome.

Not doing well with this one right now. Wasn't fond of The Sirens of Titan and I'm not liking Emphyrio so far either. I didn't like the MC of Titan, didn't see what point the story had, and didn't find it funny. It seemed like a bunch of miserable crap happening to someone for no reason to me, and we get enough of that in the real world. And so far, as far as Emphyro goes, it reminds me of a Cordwainer Smith story and I think he did it better and with less words. Don't like the MC so far either, but he's still a kid at the moment, so we'll see as the story progresses.
