One wrench is polished and new, the other old and rusty.

it is like a virile young wrench feeding a moribund elder

or an old wrench passing on the nut of life to the next generation

not quite as misleading as most of what's going on in here, but i found this today sans textual information i'd have guessed 'erotic sci fi'

Erotic sci fi, or maybe unerotic but full of sex Ballard sci fi

i've never read those books. has anyone read them all? i never SEE them to buy. even copies with goofy covers.
― scott seward, Monday, 25 April 2016 15:17 (seven years ago) link
not has anyone ever read them all. has anyone here read them all.
― scott seward, Monday, 25 April 2016 15:18 (seven years ago) link
virago did okay covers of them in the 70's. i never even see those. must not have sold much here.
― scott seward, Monday, 25 April 2016 15:21 (seven years ago) link
Virago still sells them, but only as print-on-demand, so they never make it to shops. And probably nobody buys them, either.

did you read them? kinda figured if anyone had here...
― scott seward, Tuesday, 26 April 2016 01:29 (seven years ago) link
old virago copies on amazon but not always cheap. i'll find them all eventually.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 26 April 2016 01:30 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, I always intended to get the viragos if I saw them, but I never have seen them :( of course, once I do it will probably be 20 years before I actually get round to reading them. or at least the first 2 before losing momentum.

Seen a couple of the Viragos around but have never read them. Thomp was curious about them, I think, but I don't know if he actually read them.

I decided to go with the Penguin edition.
