I to have read the "Gor" books. I thuroughly enjoyed the first ~7 or so.
After that, like has been mentioned he removed himself from the things I liked
about the books and started to get to philisophical. He tended to dedicate
50 pages of every book to the same thing, slavery and its place in society.
I had to force myself to finish "Slave Girl of Gor" book. I think that was the
title it was the second from the last(??). This is too bad because I have
the most current one to my knowledge(Players of Gor) which doesn't look
half bad. It looks like it could be close to the quality of the first ones but,
I find it hard to pick it up because of what his books have been like lately.

I would highly recommend the first ~7 or so as entertaining reading after that
I can't say as that I would recommend more than a couple. It's really to bad
that the had to go downhill so drastically.
