Frick boring-butt intellectual sci fi for nerds, we going to the GREEN STAR

So a week or so ago I asked for book recommendations and I got as far through them as reading half of Stranger in a Strange Land and threw out all the recommendations and started reading Lin Carter's Under the Green Star

Which is the story of a guy with cerebral palsy or polio or one of those diseases sending his consciousness millions of light years away to the world under the Green Star where he finds forests of trees that go miles high with cities built in the branches. By a series of events he comes to take over the formerly entombed body of a city's greatest hero, whereupon he falls hopelessly in love with the city's princess and gets thrown into a series of thrilling and deadly adventures wherein he has to defend the princess's life and honor.

This was a great book, this is everything books should be, a thrilling tale full of action and suspense and mighty deeds and manly valor. There's weird scenery and bizarre monsters and excitement and danger and beauty and wonder. The characters are vividly imagined, the action is clear and intense, and the storytelling never loses the excitement.

The book ends on a cliffhanger but there's three more books so I guess next I'm reading book two. Sorry to everyone whose suggestions I said I'd read but you should have suggested better books (IE a book like this).
