Thanks for the list. Here’s one of mine to add: Star Surgeon by Alan E. Nourse (woodmr.net/blog/four-star-surgeon). I just started a fan fiction series in this book as well (hoping this little forgotten gem will become more widely known).

My husband just read his way through an Asimov (Pebble In The Sky) and has been a fan for years. My most recent foray into Vintage Sci-fi was H. G Wells’ War Of The Worlds, but I see a wealth of books here that I need to read – along with new blogs to follow!
