(urth) Which Wolfe Should I Read Next?

[Allan Anderson]

>From that list, I've only read Home Fires and Pirate Freedom. I liked them
both quite a lot. For some reason, I keep Pirate Freedom in the bathroom,
and keep coming back to it in bits and pieces. I didn't think it would be a
favorite of mine when I read it first, but for some reason it's dear to my
heart. I hope you enjoy it, too, whenever you get to it.
