Sorry to hear about your stroke Dusty. I assume you're older then? I'm 63. I wonder how many of us here are older, or younger? How many of us are reading these old books out of nostalgia? And how many are younger people are digging into the past?

I think I keep reading these 1950s SF books to recapture how I felt about science fiction when I first discovered it in early 1960s. Even before I knew there was a genre called science fiction, I was searching libraries for books with science fictional elements. I found kids books like Danny Dunn series, Tom Swift, Jr. and of course those literary drug trips, the Oz series.
