    I say nervous because of the times and societal attitudes those books were written in and the fear of poisoning my own nostalgia. Sometimes it's best to let sleeping dogs lie in their own halcyon dreams.

I can relate to that. Sometimes you can believe it's just the characters that are written to reflect ideas of the era, then it's not so bad. Harder to do when the author has a long forward where they ramble about their thoughts cough Ellison cough
