Foundation's Edge, which was apparently well-received enough to win some major awards.

It's a bit mindboggling that nobody has yet mentioned Gor...(which I can still remember dominating bookstore SF sections)

Did anyone ever actually enjoy Silverlock, or was the various self-complementary blurbage and introductions in the version I saw rather a form of informed popularity?

I think a question there is, how many of us were thinking good things about it? (I'll confess that I was, once, but that was a case of being a horny fourteen-year-old male for [mumble] years.)

Was mentioned in the fourth thread from the top by [livejournal.com profile] brigidsblest. And, yeah, I think the "we know what they were thinking" comment just about covers it.

And ObLinkTo"HouseplantsOfGor" for those who haven't seen it.
