Rereading The Classics (of Science Fiction)

I've reached that point in my life that I am paring down on my belongings and it was inevitable that I began looking through the thousands of books I own to determine which to keep (or not). I came across the "Analog Anthologies" from the early 1980's and decided to reread them. Issued when I was in college, enough time has passed that rereading most of the stories in the anthologies (I have read 1, 2, and 3) was like reading them for the first time. Most, if not all, deserve five stars. These are truly the best of the stories from the first 50+ years of Analog (and its predecessor, Astounding). Heinlein - Asimov - Pohl Anderson - Vonda McIntyre WOW I was especially pleased to see a story by one of my favorite "sociological" science fiction authors, Chad Oliver. Yes, I decided to keep this series. One of these days, my children will have to decide whether or not to read and keep them or add them to the pile of charity donations.
