| Topic: Sci-fi Book List 1 | |
|---|---|

I see a lot of profiles have reading on their activity list. Are there some good sci-fi books you could recommend.
My fave magazine is Fur-Fish-Game. My fave genre is first contact with alien type books. Currently I'm reading Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. I finished Star Dragon by Mike Brotherton last nite. Books I have by my bed are: Freedom's Ransom - Anne McCaffrey Freedom's Choice - Anne McCaffrey Planet of the Damned - Harry Harrison Galatic North - Alastair Reynolds I like sci-fi, animal stories, and sometimes westerns (lots of Louis L'Amour) but maybe there are some other books that you really really liked that you might suggest. |

As far as sci-fi is concerned I would suggest anything by Heinlein.

All the books by Fiest. I would give them to you even, I have the whole collection, my counselor left me the collection, but I could never get into it, he said I wrote like him and he enjoyed them. But whatever, maybe you could check him out at the library or something. I here R.A Salvatore gots some skills with battle scenes. As far as sci fi particularly, I would have to say, have you tried some ursula k le guin? I hear she is awesome. As far as new writers is concerned, haven't been keeping up, started reading the books by J.R. Ward though, good stuff, real graphic though, not for the faint of heart. Do you have any suggestions for a fantasy fan?

The new Dune novels are good
I finished the first one about a month ago then noticed that the series contains at least ten books and seems to be growing exponentially. Are they all worth reading? |

Some of the originals are talk-fests but overall I would consider them to be classics. The recent ones by Frank Herberts son are VERY good if you have read the old Dune books.

I greatly enjoyed the sword of truth series by Terry Goodkind. |

I greatly enjoyed the sword of truth series by Terry Goodkind. Yeah, I heard that was good too. I also heard the Sword of Shannara collection was good, what do you think? |

The Berzerker novels by Fred Saberhagen are awesome if you like killer robots. The best one to start with is "Berzerker Base". Its an anthology of Berzerker short stories. Got some VERY good stories in that. Kinda like Terminator meets Star Trek.

Excellent, thanks for the input. If you read the old ones and then read the new ones, the story makes much more sense.
