E.E. 'Doc' Smith

A couple weeks ago I decided to start a re-read of the books by E.E. 'Doc' Smith. For some of his books it has been more than 20 years since my last reading. For others it has been just over 10 years.

Along with the books written by Smith himself, I am including the books written by Gordon Eklund (the Lord Tedirc series), Stephen Goldin (Family D'Alembert series) and Dave Kyle (additional Lensman stories).

If I read these at my normal (lunchtime reading) pace it will take just about a full year to re-read the books. However, since this is winter time I've been reading a bit more. So, at least for now I'm adding these to my nightly reading, so we maybe I'll finish up in 6 months?

   1. Triplanetary
   2. First Lensman
