 Title: The Lighter Side
 Series: N/A
 Author: Keith Laumer
 Rating: 2.5 of 5 Stars
 Genre: SFF
 Pages: 433


Synopsis:
A series of novellas and short stories that are slightly humorous and still as pessimistic in outlook as Laumer can be.
Amusing is probably a better word than humorous.

My Thoughts:
I really, really like Galactic Odyssey and The Compleat Bolo by Laumer and I keep trying to his other stuff. And I keep disliking it.

He's pessimistic, but not just in a funny way, but in a hopeless way that leaves me feeling very depressed. I think I won't be trying any more by him. I'll stick to the 2 books I know I like and re-read them every several years.

Thankfully this was free from the Baen Library so at least it wasn't money I wasted, just my time.
