Random quote: If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, that is to say, not befitting the human mind. - Mary Shelly, (Frankenstein)

Location: This Island Earth		Hopefully someone can help me, as I'm being driven to distraction.
In about 1980/81 I started to read a Sci-Fi book about an immortal man. I think it started as a diary and then went into the third person. Unfortunately I can't remember what the book was called, I had it in my head that it was called The Last Immortal or The Immortal or The First Immortal but I cannot find anything like it in any searches. The book had a yellow cover and was quite thick. Anyone with any ideas I'd be most grateful.

Roger Zelazny has a book called This Immortal but it's not that thick. Christopher Pike also has a book called The Immortal but I know nothing else about it. Library Thing has a forum called Name That Book which might be able to help if nobody else here has any ideas.

Location: This Island Earth		Many thanks - I'll try Library Thing. I know it's not Zelazny's book, but I'll check out Pike. Cheers

Try "The Ultimax Man" by Keith Laumer.

It had the split style. The first part of the book was a novella. The second half was added to expand it to a book. One of the covers had a lot of yellow.
