I have no idea how old i was when i first read Gor... Thirteen? Hrmmmm. I dunno. My brother had about ...ten of them, i think. I liked the first one. I liked 'Tarl Cabot' and how he spun around and almost killed his friend, this total off-the-hook 'warrior' reaction, and then they go off and Tarl tells his story and it was very, i dunno, H.G. Wells or whatever, with the style and the aliens and all.

Mostly, i read it for the cheap thrill of 'teh sex' in a *book* that was actually sorta kinda explict. Or, explicit to *me*, at that time, i think. I honestly don't remember how explicit it was anymore.

And i remember getting bored fairly quickly by the sameness of the plot and the sameness of the characters.

They had their 'day', as it were, and i'd be surprised if they actually made any money. They certainly opened my eyes to things that people did/wanted to do that i'd *never* dreamed of before. Otherwise...eh.

They were pretty forgettable.
