We have quite an overlap!

I knew there was something about you that seemed familiar!

I've posted up my list, and I concur with what you said about when you read them ... though you have read the Harlan Ellison Deathbird collection (not a novel, according to Amazon) and I haven't.

However you didn't hate anything. On The Beach I really didn't enjoy, very depressing (not that I expect post-apocalypse novels to be fun). With the Cordwainer Smith, I'd read so many critics and reviewers saying how wonderful it was, and it was at the time quite difficult to get hold of in the UK (at least for me before I'd discovered fandom). So when I did get a copy, and I found it unappealing and disappointing, and that soured me on it completely.
