    I can't believe that ALL FLESH IS GRASS got 5 stars from each of you. THat's freaking spectacular -- never believe that from three different readers and different ages, even the book is so much older. Wow, that's impressive. Yeah, when I read the two books of Simak's, he was quite different from anyone that I ever read, and I loved his work immensely. Now, I am debating about reading CITY (with the Dogs and Robots), because many people have said that it's one of best books they ever read.

      @@PoeLemicThanks. Simak is a writer for many ages that's for sure.

    I read the book, "Special Deliverance", or I think that I did. I don't remember much, but I really loved it. I remember a journey and multiple people on the quest. Also, it was very thoughtful and meaningful. I read it in one evening's setting, because I got stood-up by my dumb-ass best friend, back in high school. So, I started Friday evening and did not put it down until 1 or 2 am in the morning. I remember the ending, because I think that I either cried or really was touched by the heartfelt book. Or, maybe, it was "Why Bring Them Back from Heaven"? Not sure, because I (honestly) don't remember.

      @@PoeLemic It was indeed a fun read. Why Call them Back will be done sometime next year because I think we will be continuing a Simak every month.

    Also, another book by CS that I am thinking about is THE WAY STATION. I recently heard that that book is mind-numbing and very enjoyable, so that's on the read list too.

    [Correction ... 21:56 -- Special Deliverance starts ... Hope that this is the book that I read many, many, many years ago in late 1980's]
    Hey, in future, please, time stamp this where people know where next one starts ... 21:10 ... Maybe, where Intro, Book #1 stars, rating area, book #2, etc. Then, it's so much easier to jump through this and hear what we want too. I didn't want to listen to you guys expand on AFIG, because I might read it -- if you all agree on 5 stars. That's freaking a shocking conclusion, because I always think about three of my co-workers at work (who agree on next to nothing and are always bickering or yapping about something), trying to read a book and all agree on something. Just almost impossible nowadays, so when you see lot of people give a book 4.5+ stars or 5 stars -- then, it's a classic and worth reading.

      @@PoeLemic Good point re timestamp, however, I haven't a clue how to do it. This was an odd video where we spoke about two books. It's extremely unlikely it will happen again for future Simak videos.
