Am I the only one giggling about "Lazurus Long" mentioning being old?

Nope. I thought that was kinda weird as soon as I read it.

Gotta dig "Methuselah's Children" back out of the bookshelf and reread it.

It's a good reread. I've reread most of Heinlein, Asimov, and Clarke
this past year and now I've started reading Larry Niven's many books.
"Ringworld" and "The Ringworld Engineers" were GREAT and now I'm on
"The Integral Trees" from the Smoke Ring series. Faskinatin'!

One of my Xmas presents was Pratchett's "The Last Hero" - an illustrated
Pratchett! My wife said I laughed out loud the whole time I originally
read it (from the library), so she thought I'd like to have my own copy.
I just finished reading it again - still laughing.

Where else can you find Prometheus, an aging "Cohen" the barbarian, the
gods on Mt Olympus, and Leonardo daVinci all parodied at once?
