New To Me

Andre Norton wrote a book, "Star Rangers."

I read it in junior high.

I recognize the cover of the copy I got from ebay.

I remember a line or two, here and there.

But the book was as if I'd never read it.

If you wait four decades before you re-read it, it's gonna be fresh again!

Huzzah!

There's a second book set in the same universe, "Star Guard," that came in the same clump of Andre Norton books that I got "Star Rangers" with.  I only found out about "Star Guard" when I started looking around for "Star Rangers.

Looking forward to reading it!

  1. Andre Norton was one of my favorite authors as a young lad. I think I read all of her books.

  2. I just re-read those two books, along with the entire Time Traders series, last year. Like you, I hadn't read them since junior high. I enjoyed them just as much this time as I did 50 years ago.
