	If I didn’t need the work I wouldn’t be here, I’d be back home on the last frontier. . .

Yeah, he’s really great. I think I’ve read a lot of the stories in the book I’m on now (it’s been 40s & 50s stories so far), but rereading is just as good and finding a new one. His imagination is very grounded, most of what he writes are situations you could imagine finding yourself in or parallels that make you examine your thoughts about something.
