Forbidden Planets

Of variable quality, or at least interest. Most of the stories are forgettable. Two or three are primarily psychological, which I hate and so have no idea if they're "good" as such things go. One or two others are parodies/comedies. (2/2009)

Huh. What a difference three years make. I thought the stories to be stronger than I seem to have thought the first time I read it. The book seemed vaguely familiar but I only knew I'd read one story before. Rather than being bothered by the psychological stories, I simply thought one of them was dull. I was more pleased that I recognized the many Shakespearean allusions in four of the stories or so. I guess now I know why.
