Note to German publishers:
Please consider not using the words “REICH” and “SIEG” in book titles…

Riding these things isn’t as easy as it looks.

It’s the one with the Centaurs.
Yea. They’re actually in it.

Why is it that in German public parks, it’s only the old men that go naked? (Actual question. WTF?)
May 27th, 2020 at 2:16 pm
I can’t guess the title – I’m afraid I missed Heinlein’s BDSM period.

Ima go with Starship Ranchers.

According to ISFDB, it’s Starman Jones.

Slave Market in the Sky.

“Alice in Wonderland”?

Chiron of Mars ?

And he Built a Crooked Horse

Looks like a punctuation issue to me. “Abenteuer? I’m Sternenreich!!!”
May 27th, 2020 at 9:29 pm
“The Beast with Three Backs”?

There’s no reich like a stern reich.

“OK, we’ve been taken captive by the naked centaur-men of the Fudgerock Planet. But I’m so high that I really don’t care.”

“By His Hoofstraps”?
May 28th, 2020 at 3:01 am
‘Farnham’s Fetlock’
May 28th, 2020 at 7:59 am
“The Centaur Who Walks Through Fields”.
“The Number of the Beast”.
@JP: Indeed, why??!
@daard: GSS.

Even knowing the literal meaning of the title didn’t really help, since it wasn’t actually a translation of the English title….
May 29th, 2020 at 12:23 am
@DVD: It does make for a very generic SF title, doesn’t it? Could refer to any one of thousands of books, movies, TV, games.
Yet they didn’t translate “Science Fiction”.

Have centaur, will loll about
June 5th, 2020 at 12:44 pm
“Time enough for grass swimming”

“Adventures in Sternum Removal”?
December 28th, 2021 at 4:32 am
@JJYoyo: no, no, it’s “Adventures in Sternum Reich”.
In this realm, you have to be shirtless or wear clothes tight enough that your sternum is visible. No exceptions, ja?
December 28th, 2021 at 12:15 pm
@GSSxN: are you telling me this is part of the pre-viz for Iron Sky 3?
December 28th, 2021 at 6:07 pm
@JJYoyo: provisional title ‘Iron Sky: Dry Fear’.
Richtig, ja?
December 29th, 2021 at 1:29 am
Iron Sky meets No Man’s Sky, ja!

Her and her, but NOT the bald pink centaur they rode in on.

(I had to do that one more time.)

And I had to follow the link, ’cause I knew it was gonna be good… was not disappointed! (Looks like the reject cover for Piers Anthony’s Centaur Isle, being not quite “glossy” enough)
