Ten Classic Books I Read as a Teen That Still Hold Up
Sometimes older books are visited by the Suck Fairy--but not all! Here
are ten that stand the test of time.

Hm. I haven't read many of these.
I'm sure I've read "Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen", but I recall
nothing about it. I generally like Piper, though.
I read "Of Mist and Grass and Sand" back in Analog way back
when. It kind of left me cold -- decent enough story, but
I just could not suspend disbelief in the technology.
The June 1977 Analog I read. "Eyes of Amber" doesn't stick
with me, but I hated "The Screwfly Solution" about an order
of magnitude more than the computer in that infamous Harlan
Ellison story hated humans.
Lots and lots of good stuff in Spider Robinson's "The Best
of All Possible Worlds". This was my introduction to
"The Princess Bride"; the "Duel on the Clifs of Insanity".
The rest I haven't read.
