I'm not sure I understand this statement. Could you expand a bit on it?

3) More Than Human by Theodore Sturgeon
Don't forget THE DREAMING JEWELS, still by T. Sturgeon. I freely admit I
haven't read much by him other than the abovementioned novels (lack of
availability) but I have the feeling that his stories are very often
extremely good.
9) The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin
I'd recommend also ROCANNON'S WORLD. Maybe a minor novel, but very nice
indeed.
In my opinion, it would be worth to add also the novels THE DEAD ZONE and
CHRISTINE, by King (I know, I know...) and about all production by Lovecraft.

Thank you, Candy. I take this term as a compliment. :)

Candy, save the shrink's fee and buy some good book instead!
