"Repent, Harlequin!" ... - Harlan Ellison - DNF
-----------------

Passengers - Robert Silverberg 4* Liked quite a bit and has stuck with me. Passengers are aliens that take over humans at random times. A man recognizes a woman he spent time with when he had a passenger. They try to have a relationship even thought it's better not to be noticed. While they are agreeing, the man gets a new passenger and just walks away as he is made to.
-----------------

A Boy and His Dog - Harlan Ellison 4.5* I found it revolting and good. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world. The revolting: rape, food sources. The good: The apocalyptic setting, the twists.

I wouldn't recommend it for everyone and I wouldn't add it to my favorites list but I enjoyed it much more the second time around. And as usual I can't say anything because it would be spoilers. Wait... I will say a boy and his dog (as the title suggests) are in neutral territory when they realize ... no nvmd why would I spoil any of it?

I can't wait to read it again in 4-5 years when I forget everything.

The Day Before the Revolution - Ursula Le Guin - DNF
-----------------

Slow Sculpture - Theodore Sturgeon 2*

Houston, Houston, Do you Read? - James Tiptree, Jr - DNF - People in a spacecraft with chickens. Narrator drugged, he thinks. I have no idea what he is talking about or why.

The Persistence of Vision - John Varley 2*
