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.
