'I am crying all inside' is my all-time favourite sci-fi short story. Would love it if Love,Death&Robots make an episode based on it.

Sounds really interesting, Shawn. I am most familiar with Science Fiction 1938 thru 1982. Just my opinion, real science fiction was still around thru 1971, but "the new wave" was rapidly squeezing it out by the late 1960s.

That's quite an impressive collection of anthologies you have there, Shawn! I've chosen "The Moon Maid" by Edgar Rice Burroughs for week one. Not quite sure what I'll read for week two or three yet - but for week four, I've decided upon "Alien Dust" by E C Tubb. These are books I haven't read yet, so it'll be an interesting journey in July.

@@martinsFILMS13 I would say look at the structure of the Comedie Hummaine. Especially the divisions such as Paris life or Provincial life etc. For instance if you choose Provincial life look to see what is currently published and translated. There are older complete translations but might be hard to find. Penguin and Oxford World Classics have done several. It is such a vast work(s) and was never completed so it really doesn't matter where you start. There are overlapping characters but I don't think it matters a lot.
