The Cranky Old Reader
I'm a Goodreads refugee, looking for a new home. Old books for children, science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, and humor are my main areas of interest. I've little interest in books that were written after 1975 or so, and prefer books that are older still. There are, however, a few still-living authors that I respect.
Superstoe
An extremely funny work of political and sociological black humor. A group of eccentric and ruthless professors from middle America decide to take over the USA and reform it.The book is packed with clever, amusing ideas, some of which have filtered into popular culture - for example, although it was written before the Internet was developed, it portrays nationwide electronic voting on referendums via something very much like the internet.
