OT: Lafferty recommendations

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Actually, many of these are not hard to find at all. Wildside Press has 
print-on-demand editions of quite a few of Lafferty's books (including 
these two). See http://www.wildsidebooks.com/LAFFERTY-R-A_c_31-1.html

They can also be ordered from Amazon.com.

... Mr. Auburn's brainiacs hail from the Hollywood school of genius. 
That's where highly photogenic people learn how to make Einsteinian 
breakthroughs without the benefit of a fancy degree while watching the 
late-show on TV. Call it the "Good Will Hunting" principle of brain 
power, in which a hero's brilliance can be measured in direct proportion 
to his or her kissability and sulky disregard for higher education.
