Hmm, I'm reading The Demon Princes series right now. I just bought The Blue World the other day and think I'll be reading that next: I think I'll read some of Vance's more classic stuff before reading Araminta Station. I'm still quite the Vance noob, so . . .

Yes - many. I have five Jack Vance omnibuses/collections (The Complete Lyonesse, Tales of the Dying Earth, The Demon Princes, The Jack Vance Treasury, Alastor) and will be getting a new omnibus soon (Planet of Adventure). Mine actually never came with a cover; the dust-jacket wasn't included. I...

Does anyone here know if Araminta Station, first book of the Cadwal Chronicles, fares well as a stand-alone book? I just received a hardback edition of it in the mail yesterday. It was only about $7 so I felt I couldn't go wrong with buying it. I'm thinking of reading it after the Alastor...

I would go with the new Kindle.

Looks a bit better than I expected.

I want to get the Time and the Gods omnibus which is part of the Fantasy Masterworks collection. I've been wanting to check out Dunsany for months ever since discovering that Jack Vance was fond of him.

Blood Music was OK, but far from being mind-blowing.

I'm in Canada. Thanks for the response. :)

Just in case you weren't sure, Morreion is the last part of Rhialto the Marvellous (the last Dying Earth book) which I've yet to read. I'm rather excited to read it.

I think for me it was The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. Never finished it though.

I just spent quite a while looking up Clifford Simak's books the other day. I think I'll have to read Way Station and City someday.

I really want to read Planet of Adventure. I was supposed to have a hardcover omnibus of it already but the damn book got lost or stolen (or, at least I assume so . . . I've been waiting for over a month and still haven't received anything). Unfortunately not a rare thing to happen when ordering...

It seems like most people like The Face best. I've yet to read it. The Demon Princes series is in my Jack Vance "to read" list. I'll be reading it after The Jack Vance Treasury. I really wish there was a VIE (Vance Integral Edition) of all of Jack Vance's books in E-book formats. It would be...

Does anyone know what cover A Dance with Dragons will use? Amazon has a cover that doesn't match my book covers from the earlier books of A Song of Ice and Fire. I personally prefer the minimalistic covers that I have to this cover shown on Amazon. Are there any certainties as to what cover...

The Jack Vance Reader contains three novels: Emphyrio, The Domains of Koryphon andThe Languages of Pao. Ah, nice. I was thinking "damn - that book has a cool cover. I should check it out" but upon checking out that book's contents realized that I have all but one of the stories from that...

Anyone here like Jack Vance? If so, which Vance series and stand-alone books do you like best? I just started reading his books and am becoming very fond of them. The Lyonesse Trilogy is brilliant. My user-name is actually taken from the main protagonist of that series! I'm currently waiting...

I recently purchased the first three books of A Song of Ice and Fire (A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords) and must admit that I was very disappointed to see the "a new series coming soon from HBO" ad on my expensive hardback edition of A Clash of Kings. Luckily A Game of...
