2. I just re-read my copy of "The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth" by Roger Zelazny

Both the title story and the rest of the story collection. Some real classics in there, including "A Rose for Ecclesiastes."

My favorites are:

"This Mortal Mountain" - high-adventure mountain climbing, IN SPAAAAACE!

The title story, serious deep-sea fishing (yes, IN SPAAAAACE! Well, on a mythical planet Venus).

And "This Moment of The Storm" - a very prescient story written in 1965, the top cop on a colony planet using armed flying drones to dispense law enforcement... but it's not quite what that makes it sound like.

There are also a few very short stories that are quite fascinating, like "The Great Slow Kings." Worth a read.
