From the article that one links to: &quot;Used Furniture&quot;<p>Yes!  That&#x27;s the one that sets me off the most.  I&#x27;m not too concerned about where a book lies along the range of hard sci-fi to space opera as long as it&#x27;s a fun read, but I hate books that recycle other stuff too much.  The worst offender here that I can recall was a series of stories that basically copied the plots from Greek myths and made them into sci-fi stories.  I want to say it&#x27;s from Frederik Pohl, but I&#x27;m not 100%.  I also completely agree about the &quot;space westerns&quot;.
