I agree absolutely.  So pick up a copy of _The Heaven Chronicles_
from your favorite out-of-print bookstore, online or brick and mortar,
and enjoy.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main.  If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friends or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for
whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.  --John Donne
