Some cracking stuff there Unc. 

I thought I was the only person in the world that had read 'The Anubis Gates'

How about "The Drawing of the Dark" It's the only other Powers book I found readable.

I will have to have a look at my collection although a lot of my books are still at my parents.

Dyou include just serious SF or are things like the Stainless Steel Rat included?

How 'bout 'Weapon' and 'Solo' by Robert Mason?

That was the one that made me read the others. I even imported a copy of 'declare' from the US when it first came out as I couldnt get it here.

I tried to be 'serious' for Snoopy. I don't think he would take to the Stainless Steel Rat.  

He might enjoy the Jasper Fforde 'Thursday Next' novels being that they are full of literary jokes.

Or possibly the 'Riverworld' series by Philip Jose Farmer where the likes of Mark Twain are actually characters.
