Novels
This list was devised to point younger readers toward older
stuff that they might not have heard of, or long out-of-print
writers whose work they might be unfamiliar with, so I've
arbitrarially given it a cut-of date of some vague point in
the early '80s. When I list more than one book by a
particular author, the one I list first is the one I
recommend most strongly, but I wouldn't list a book here at
all if I didn't think that it was, to one degree or another
at least, worth looking at. Many of these titles will be
out-of-print, but if young readers know authors' names and
titles, I figure, they may be able to find much of this stuff
in second-hand bookstores.

Short Stories
Like the novel list, this list of collections is again mostly
orientated toward Old Stuff, stuff from before some vague
date at the beginning of the '80s; in this list, however, I
have listed some collections that are currently available in
bookstores, feeling that these might be easier for readers to
find--and, in some cases, like that of Cordwainer Smith, the
current collection, if you can find it, pretty much contains
within itself the several older collections listed, so you
might as well buy the more recent edition. Current (more or
less) collections, or more recent ones, anyway, are indicated
with a (c) after the listing.
