Each short story was gripping and I had to keep going to the next. I was amazed at how quickly I was emersed in each storyline, some were funny, some Erie, great for those who like fantasy too.

Once started, I couldn’t put it down.

But not the last. Really recommend this collection. And what a privilege seeing farsighted sci fi from E M Forster. He anticipated my time in my zoom cave during lockdown perfectly.

Overall I found the stories more enjoyable and aged better socially than the other Hall of Fames. Recommended.

Better than other Hall of Fames

Volume 2B is back on par with volume 1, 2A is good but has a smaller number of stories that entirely sweep you away.

Excellent collection of stories

The existence of this book is sadly not a fiction! Kind of a car park for words where the most interesting elements are the spaces in between.

Fictional ballocls
