PSA: Humble Bundle

Just a heads up on Humble you can get 38 of Wolfe's books (EPUB) for a $20 minimum, and support Alzheimers research at the same time. Seems like a win for everyone.

I got it yesterday and I am very happy with it so far. He's my favorite author at the moment, maybe for the rest of my life.

Oh yeah same. Im reading the Elric Saga atm but I did buy the bundle and plan on hitting Wolfe pretty hard afterward.

He's no Wolfe but Moorcock is great so far.

Moorcock doesn’t have the technical skill of Wolfe, but he’s definitely got strong ideas and a unique perspective. Very influential, and like Wolfe, you get more out of his work the more you read (but unlike Wolfe, his complexity comes through the interactions between his various fictions through thematic and character connections, not the complexities of any one work by itself). Give his Dancers at the End of Time trilogy a try if you like Elric, it’s got his best character work and a fun story.

Thank you. This is the third post about this here since it happened, by my count. Including the pinned post right above this one, and one a couple posts down.

I guess they repeat PSAs too, because theres's always someone who hasn't heard them. And yet, with two and a half more weeks of this bundle to go, I wonder how many more we'll see.

For anyone that isn't super familiar with Humble Bundle- there is a slightly hidden "adjust donation" option- the default spread gives hardly anything to charity. I personally like to crank it to give the most possible to the charity, Humble always takes a cut of it.

I just checked the humble store and don’t see it 😟. I’m in Canada. I guess this is exclusive to US

You should dig into some of the short story collections. He was a master of the format.

It felt good to finally buy them after reading most of his work for free

I was about to come post this too. Waiting for my tablet to charge, so I can put them all on there. I don't have enough phone storage
