It is rewarding to compare Anderson's fictions with other imaginative works - his Time Patrol series with the Doctor Who TV series and his prose fantasies with the graphic fantasies of The Sandman and Lucifer. We appreciate Anderson's works more and also appreciate similar or parallel fictional series.
My correspondent Sean recommends SM Stirling as another sf author to read after Anderson.

Hi, Paul!
I'm sorry you are sick again with a cold. It seems, alas, that you are prone to getting colds. Harry Turtledove wrote an amusing short story called "Nasty, Brutish, And..." about just HOW mankind came to be afflicted with that nuisance.
And I certainly do recommend, again, experimenting with some of the works of S.M. Stirling! One or two of his stand alone books should be enough to determine if you might like his stuff.

Sean,
There is a comedy film about Caesar invading Britain. He is sneezing and explains that he has caught some local thing called a stinking cold!
I will deffoe check out some Stirling.
Paul.
Hi, Paul!
Ha, ha, that one I have not seen! But I have fairly often seen complaints about the wet, dank, chilly British weather. The only times I've visited the UK was in July, and I thought the weather was fine. Yes, I know, July is only a small part of the year! (Smiles)
Hope you have fun with Stirling! And I look forward to any comments you care to make about his work.
Sean
FWIW
in Stirling's "Island in the Sea of Time" William Walker comments on the unpleasant weather of Britain.
Kaor, Jim!
It's possible British weather, like British cooking, has been unfairly maligned! (Smiles)
Ad astra! Sean
