You can add a comment to any page or post on this blog.
Pages have ‘Leave a Reply’ boxes where you can add comments easily – see the bottom of this page. It’s slightly less obvious in the posts – you have to click on the blue text below the post where it says how many comments there are, e.g. ‘No Comments’ or ‘2 Comments’ or whatever.
In either case you can leave comments anonymously if you wish, but I hope you’ll choose to let us know who you are.
Comments don’t appear immediately – I review them before allowing them to appear, as we’re receiving dozens of spam comments a week…
So, please let us know what you think about what is being posted here, and let us know what you’d like to see in future.
Some of the comments we receive are in languages other than English: where that is the case, I run them through an online translation site — usually BabelFish — and include the English translation with the original post.
We also get spam in various languages, and I weed those out too. There is a risk that I’ll delete a genuine comment believing it to be spam – my apologies in advance if I do that to your comment.

Hi Brian -
I’m not sure who actually put this ‘collection’ together, but it is basically all of the ‘public domain’ HH stories – the ones Gutenberg have made available on their site – put togther in a format that the Kindle e-book reader can load.
As far as I know, the Kindle will load straight .txt files anyway, so you’d be better off getting them for free on the Gutenberg site…

I am an obvious fan of the SSR series and would love to see a movie.
But who would play James? I am curious about who other fans of the rat would like to see play the role.
I have given much thought to this when I first heard about a possible movie and believe only one person fits the role. Bruce Campbell
Also thanks for the new rat book Harry!

Well, it would have to be someone who can do comedy, action, and a bit of proper acting… we know that Harry Harrison’s ideal choice was Steve McQueen, so would have to bear that in mind too…
Of the current crop of actors I’d probably say Chris Evans of X-Men fame, maybe Josh Hartnett… Heath Ledger would have been a good choice, I think. Brad Pitt and Paul Walker are maybe too good-looking – we need someone with a little more edge. Colin Farrell?
Oh, and let’s give our worst choice too – again bearing in mind that HH said somewhere that Richard Pryor had been considered at some point in the distant past! So let’s say no to Tom Hanks, Sly Stallone, Kevin Costner and Tom Cruise at this point. Vin Diesel has a great voice, but he’s not really how I see the Rat. Ben Affleck looked pretty good in Daredevil, but he’s not the Rat I see when I read the books.
I’m sure there’s probably a great tv actor that would be perfect, but I can’t think who…

As a Long time fan (1977- present) I could honestly say George Clooney would make a great Jimi Di Griz. Failing that, Gordon Ramsey, and last choice: Daniel Craig.
My question/suggestion to this forum though…
I’d LOVEEEE to see a “collection” book series made. All the Stainless Steel Rat books in one chunk for the uninitiated. I find myself buying what I can where I can from a dozen bookstores. Would be great to get the lot in one go…
NO MATTER WHAT THE PRICE.
Love, respect and concussion grenades.
