Overlooked, Underrated, Forgotten 2

In our efforts to suggest titles for your CovidDays reading, here are three more books you may not have considered, along with our customarily pithy three word teasers:

Overlooked: The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg (1972) – disturbing, absorbing, unique.

Underrated: Ubik, by Philip K. Dick (1969) – quirky, entertaining, phildickian.

Forgotten: Synners by Pat Cadigan (1991) – punchy, dense, trenchant.
