The Line Between is a collection of eight short stories, some of which are excellent. One of them takes place in the universe of The Last Unicorn and includes some of the characters, many years after the end of the novel. It's worth looking into for that one alone.

The nice thing about reading is that I'm entirely average at it speed wise. It's a nice normal thing to do.
