It’s interesting you mention the Tales of, and the NJO being good because that one they worked together. The Tales of worked like that, a collection of short stories that combined at one point.
I enjoy OLD (ancient?) scifi-fi and it’s predominantly short stories as full books were too risky to publish at first. So the short story collections almost worked as a homage to them for me.
I started about 3 years ago and have read a SW book and then another book, and back. I’ve read Dune, The Expanse, and hitchhikers to name drop a few books/series. Sometimes it’s takes a couple months to finish a book, good the later Dunes were slow, sometimes a few days. Life’s fun.
