It was one year ago today that Episode 1 of my Vacation in the Golden Age made its debut. In that time, I’ve read 31 issues of Astounding and produced 31 Episodes of my Vacation, totaling over 118,000 words.
To me, it seems rather incredible that a year has already gone by. I remember just before I started reading the July 1939 issue what a daunting task this projected seemed to be. Fun, but daunting. And now, 31 episodes later, I feel like I’ve hit a kind of groove with it and I’m really enjoying every bit of it.
Thanks to everyone who has come along on this Vacation with me. I hope you’ll stick around for more.
(And don’t forget, Episode 31 is hot off the virtual presses.)
Looking forward to Year Two, Jamie!
It’s been illuminating to see stories I’ve already read in context, and seeing how you read them for the first time.
