The Science Fiction Hall of Fame vol. 1

I really liked this anthology. The stories may be old but the best ones deal with themes that are universal. Others were pretty boring and involved themes which are now pretty out of date or which weren't delved into very much. Many of them had almost no characterization.

Authors I want to pursue:
John Campbell
Theodore Sturgeon
Isaac Asimov
AE van Vogt
Clifford Simak (maybe)
Ray Bradbury
James Blish
Arthur Clarke
Anthony Boucher
Jerome Bixby
Tom Godwin
Damon Knight
Daniel Keyes
Roger Zelazny

================================================

End-of-break reading goals:
Richard Wright, Rites of Passage
Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
