The World Treasury of Science Fiction

Being a complete newbie to the Sci-Fi genre (I read mostly fantasy) I picked this up at the library. I didn't notice at the time that the book was only one year younger then I am, and the majority of the stories were quite a bit older then the publication date of this collection. I enjoyed a few of the stories in it, but not enough that I would recommend this to anyone. I'm not sure whether it was the age of the writing, and that I'm simply not a fan of the styles at the time, or if the stories were legitimately not good. I just found this collection lacking, and would recommend that if you are new to the Sci-Fi world like I am, that you look for a newer, up to date collection that will be closer to the writing styles today.
