None of Malzberg is "easy reading," and he's generally quite depressing,
but worth it.  Recommendations below:

>    Beyond Apollo [1972]
	Excellent, but probably *not* a good first one.

>    Herovit's World [1973]
	Not SF, but about SF.  An SF writer goes crazy.

>    Tactics of Conquest [1974]
	One of the easiest-reading novels.

>    Galaxies [1975]
	My nomination for not only BNM's best novel, but one of the best of
	the 70s.

>    Down Here in the Dream Quarter [1976] [C]
	Unquestionably the best of his short story collections -- *far* better
	than any of the "best" collections.

>    The Engines of the Night: Science Fiction in the Eighties [1982] [S]
	Also good.  Pissed a lot of people off, though...

>    Final War and Other Fantasies [1969] [C]
	The title story is *brilliant*.

>    Gather in the Hall of the Planets [1971]
	A precursor to HEROVIT'S WORLD.  Interesting on that basis and
	because of the rather nasty images of SF fandom.
