I hope to join in. Once I finish my current interlibrary loan, I will request it.
I got this book from inter-library loan a few days ago. It's very short and I read it in two days. Very action-centered. It's a little different from the film (no spoilers), but follows the basic premise.
Has anyone seen the film version of Logan's Run? If yes, what did you think of it? Any favorite scenes?

(I love movies that use models, especially if you can tell that they aren't real.)"Those models of the city remind me of the City of Tomorrow that you see on the People Mover at Disneyworld. Yes, the movie is cheesy but fun. I actually saw it in a movie theater when it first came out.
Ha - it's one of those films I still love to watch. I love that Farrah Fawcett is in it too. It sort of reminds me of that show The Prisoner, which I definitely recommend!
My favorite scenes from the film are:- Carousel
- Peter Ustinov as the old man with all the cats, living in the Congress building.
Do you mean multiple-Oscar winning film, "Logan's Run?" Ha Ha I just looked it up on Wikipedia. Move over Revenant.

Oops- it just won one. It's just barely an Oscar winner.

I did not know that Logan's Run is book 1 in a series. Here's a link to the Goodreads page:https://www.goodreads.com/series/54090
