Cool, funny, odd, and shallow.

Looks interesting. Can’t remember.

Doonesbury. Funny.

Ah, memories. I think this book presaged the “… for Dummies” series. This one came with three bean bags and features illustrations of a hippy and his sentient mouse friend. The hippy is learning to juggle, while the mouse merely watches in bemusement.

This book did help me; after innumerable tries I did finally learn to juggle, at least in a very basic way.

This looks like it was a very interesting book. It also has the distinction of a misspelled title on the spine, “Rouge Queen”, which sounds like a very different work.

The first novel in the Amber series. I’m not sure I read the rest, though.

The Locus review on the cover concludes “… the novel will be long remembered.” Well geez, if I didn’t go and forget it. It might have been good, though! The Amazon reviews seem to like it, but they generally like most everything.

Heinlein’s most famous work, which gave us the verb ’to grok’. Thankfully, this word seems to be disappearing. A Martian comes to Earth and teaches us all about free love.

A sci-fi retelling of the biblical story of Job. Dark and funny, definitely one of Heinlein’s best.
