Agreed!

Recs pls op?

[(Anonymous)]

I second this. Would love some.

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP but general 70s sci-fi? Sci-fi with crystals and telepathy?

My first thought is Vonda N. McIntyre. Le Guin, Tiptree, Disch, Delany and Wolfe for general imaginative 70s SFF. George RR Martin, John Varley and Michael Bishop. Joan D. Vinge, maybe.

Thanks!

Try Zenna Henderson's The People stories, they are written in the sixties, but still along those lines.

I mostly agree! I desperately want old school pulpy scifi and fantasy, but without the sexism and misogyny that was in most of them.

Also just short little books. I went to a secondhand bookstore the other day and they had a great section of "vintage" scifi/fantasy and the books were so small! I want more manageable books I can read in a day or two. I'm tired of "epics" and "space operas."

[(Anonymous)]

I want short little books too! Every fantasy book I’ve come across recently is a door-stopper.

[(Anonymous)]

Volume X in a series of miserable doorstoppers too.

+1000 for shorter books... Or at least books that are a little longer but self-contained, without sequels. I know series supposedly sell but I am so tired of them, geez.

A great-uncle left a copy of *Icerigger* (I think that was the title?) at my folks place and it was delightful. A goofy little space adventure featuring a ship crashing on a frozen world inhabited by cat people. The main character was sort of a space riverboat gambler who becomes totally invested in helping his new friends defend themselves (and their adorable kitten-children) from a threat the details of which I have forgotten. But it was a short, nifty, exciting story that .over along really well. I wish I had kept the copy, and I would definitely read more like it (either the rest of that series or others with a similar vibe.)

It looks like this is it. Someone in a comment on...Amazon? Said something about bat-cats. :D

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, and that's the cover a remember! The cat-people had bat wings and skatelike claws they used to speed across the ice of their frozen world

[tabaqui]

Okay, that is fun as hell. AND! As you say that, I think I remember reading it, too! My brother is a big ADFoster fan, so I'm pretty sure he still has his copy....

[(Anonymous)]

I need to track down another copy!

[tabaqui]

If you, like me, don't like buying on Amazon....
