Muito bom...and old

what a beautiful story

I wondered what mine were doing

Love everything written by Tanith.

Chauvinist & boring. Terribly trite. Not imaginative at all.

The cost of asking to live beyond one's allotted time is to be made to deny that of others. Heavy is the head that wears the crown of judgement.

Shrek?

I heard about this novel from the channel 'liminal spaces' who does book reviews. he sold it very well

I like the pp made of cubes.

This is an excellent niche, and the effort you've put into that intro alone makes me think that if you stick to it this channel will eventually explode from where it's currently at. Great stuff

from the thumbnail, id say the infinite enemy looks like a little hatted variety

Ursula K. for the WIN! I don't think you could post too much of LeGuin. I got hooked on her with the PBS premier of Lathe of Heaven back in 1981.

GeeWhiz! That's an old one.

Good work as always. Thanks for all this gold.

Thank you. What a pleasure to hear this old tale! Very well done! It's interesting that the authors main character narrates is journey faithfully as experienced describing the duplicity but never in judgment as though it is all perfectly normal and the only real difference is the inhabitants on Earth, being two faced, physically manifest only one face! That's the only difference. Otherwise they are exactly the same! And you get the feeling the main character wasn't extremely disappointed that he wasn't allowed to see the suffering on the dark side of the planet and was content to depart on good terms with King He-he-he. You could even assume that he arrived back with his family and said, "they are just like us!" 😂 The readers are left to their own judgments and assessments while the author and his, or her main character does not delve into any moral judgments.

As ever, a fine and eloquent reading of my favorite genre. Thank you very much.

I suppose there's science fiction in this largely fantasy and horror story. Anyway, I approve of the departure. Keep us guessing what we're listening to. I love hard science fiction above all, but I also love Tolkien and Steven King.

Aldiss in the mid-fifties was already miles ahead of everybody else.

Hi, I really like your videos and thank you for uploading these authors works. Do you have a podcast?

I recently discovered that Felix is my in-law! If there's anything you'd like to know about him from his two surviving children, let me know. Thank you for the reading and the kind words in your description.

The Demolished Man, and The Stars My Destination are two of my all time favorite novels. I'm so happy to hear Mr Beater's words. What an interesting guy. I've heard his later science fiction novels are pretty terrible, but I've yet to have an opportunity to find out.

Shout me out in your next video 🥰 but just say my first name

Mr. Vinge sadly passed away early 2024. Thank you for sharing this story 🤩

Hi this is my new favourite pre-bedtime channel (and probably my favourite story one. I am certain you are a future king of internet radio👍

It's a fine story, for the most part. Well-written with a poetic and evocative tint through its unique lens viewing the struggle between individuality and conformity extant among even celestial deities far outside our microscopic Mliky Way evaluation. Unfortunately, I think the too-zoomed-in, topically Earthbound glibness of that closing line does far too much damage to the narrative on the whole, thus why any future readings of this story in which I happen to partake will quite necessarily wrap up with the main character's assumption of responsibility for his actions upon our blue-green orb.

Mesmerizing. Thank you Darrell.

People Of The Secret audiobook by Ernest Scott brought me here 👋 new subscriber here, I love Colin Wilson too

Man, if I had a nickel for every time I took a little interplanetary siesta only to be assaulted by blue-skinned natives forcing me to get my pregnant wife off-planet at the cost of me being dragged off by the savages, leaving me no alternative but to mentally contact my six-month old, telepathically-gifted, twinborn son in utero on a last ditch effort to save my ass or at least be able to say hello and goodbye... Never enough time, indeed. Thanks for reading.

An intiguingly cautionary, naturally suspicious speculative tale regarding the pitfalls of a species willing to sluff off progeny and degrade their cultural, even spiritual soul for the seemingly scintillating, tempting, exotic embrace of a life form as yet sensually and erotically unconquered-- no matter the impossibility or cost. The theme is driven home rather sharply right at the end by the reporter's complete disregard for the engineer's tacit personal resignation, his insistence on proselytizing to humans back on Earth athwart this unavoidable urge. The thematic tie-in with the Keats poem referenced in the title is handled thoughtfully and provides a meaningful futuristic spin on the 19th century tale. Good story. Thanks for the read.

Bunch of zoomers talking shit in the comments. I'm thankful for what this guy does. He's shared tons of stories with me I've never seen before and I'm someone who read through a lot of dusty old paperbacks and I still haven't heard some of these

Thank you for these gems, Darrell. You're a true tale-master 💯

Well read! You did those stories proud. 👍

You got a thumbs up for not using AI and for promising not to

Great reading thank you

And when was this written???😞😞😞

Your crows are talking to you, too.

I love the intro music you've chosen for your channel. Thank you for your frequent uploads.

You keep posting these! I'll keep watching them!

That would have been even better as the first chapter of a novel

i believe this is perhaps the third time i've ever commented anything on youtube. i appreciate your content. thank you.

What an incredible story. Loved it

I like your weird intro . I wish it wasn’t 56 seconds long. But I can deal with it, really.

Thank you for your hard work!

Booooring 💤💤

2 shillings = about 10 cents, which equals about $40 usa ($70au) today, so if true then yeah a bit tight

Thank you my friend!! I found these books (New Dimensions) as a kid because the library at my school--a state school for the blind--hadn't cleared out its library in ages. So I discovered New Dimensions, Ira Levin, Daphney Du Maurier, Stanley Ellin, Octavia Butler, Donald Barthelme, and tons of other stuff. I finally have been able to grab what I think are all of the anthologies. there's this one story in particular I wanna find about this guy who goes to an alien planet, insults their leader and is then forced to experience his life in reverse. anyway, love these nostalgia trips/really getting to know these stories. Thanks!!
