E. E. Doc Smith
Forum
When I was a kid, I would read Tom Swift while under the covers with a flashlight. When I found the Doc Smith books, I felt like I was back under the covers. And I was married with kids. I devoured books from many of his series in the late seventies and wouldn't mind reading them again if I could find them in my local libraries.

Read all the skylark books at least a dozen times....
Some of the best books ever written...
Love the idea of different levels of force, sub levels etc...

However many times I read the Lensman Series, even apart from
the scenarios in which Smith deals expertly with the dynamics of
relationships between humans, I always felt that his descriptions
of telepathy with the Lens and the various orders of mind attributed
to the diverse varieties of aliens, were actually accurate studies
on the nature of the true multidimensional nature of human mind,
dealing with regions of consciousness that while experienced from
day to day in our lives, are not even hinted at in the crude bumblings
of contemporary conventional psychology. The closest thing I have
found in other sources is in esoteric Mahayana Buddhism.
