    haha Bumsider was boring but it sounds like it was better than most of those. Also, I knew what number one was going to be before I even clicked to watch the video. That was probably my favorite of your reviews. You went all in.

    Thank you so much for trying to save me. If only I had been watching this all along. . .
    Last week. . .
    It's the library sale. . . I found 3 Hal Clement. . .
    and I bought them.
    One was "Cycle of Fire".
    You could have saved me bro.
    I guess there's still Needle, and Fossil.

    I think the worst book I ever read was actually science fiction called Alien Blues by Lyn Hightower.
    These days when I don’t like book it’s usually just mediocre. Even self published books I read seems like masterpieces in comparison with these books 😂

    I enjoy a review of a good book, but it is funny how I tend to enjoy the reviews of bad books even more! Looking at the cover of The Four Day Weekend and reading the blurb- "What happens to a man when a woman is his boss- even in the 21st century?" would probably indicate for the sake of humanity a copy of the book should not have survived the end of the 1960's, except for two things. In the 21st century it would make a great PulpMortem RUclips review, and as a must read for all aspiring young SF writers on "how NOT to write science fiction".

      @OmnivorousReader people seem to like his Sector General series, so maybe they're better? Honestly the struggle for me was to separate the art from the artist, something I'm typically good at. Maybe it was just an off-book, but it was so frustrating that I don't think I'll give White another shot.
