Good Science Fiction Books

[TwelfthChapter]

For quite a while now I have been wanting a full fledged sci-fi novel. Any recommendations?

[Arete of the Gathering Flowers]

Fool's Run by Patricia A. McKillip. It's a little out there but it's...

magical.

Okay. To throw a little modern SF in the mix:

The Old Man's war series by John Scalzi.

No joke, amazing stuff.

Scott Westerfeld on so many levels.

[Iona May Twiston-Davies]

I'd go with Terry Pratchett's discworld series. It's hilarious, beautifully written, devastatingly intelligent, with superb characters and it's all set on a flat circular world balancing on the back of four collosal elephants riding on the inconcievably big star-turtle, The Great A'Tuin.
Also read 'The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy' by Douglas Adams. I've learnt EVERYTHING from that book.

[Julia Skillin]

Anything from Adams, Pratchett or even Neil Gaiman is worth looking into. They're all excellent!

[House At Intellectual Loner Ave]

And here comes a page from the old school nerd fighter library. Robotech: the Macross Saga by Jack McKinley. If you're familiar with the cartoon/anime, forget about it. The novelized version is so much better (well, when James Luceno is doing the writting that is)

I just finished Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey series, and now I'm on his Time Odyssey series... Both AMAZING. The book of 2001 is so infinitely better than the movie...

[Sam the Vicious Zebra]

the Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin. It's the best Sci-Fi book I've ever read. Legit.

One Vonnegut reference?

[Jim MacDougal]

Vonnegut hated to be called a science fiction writer.

enders game. The book is nearly two times older than I am, but it is amazing. It has alot of psychology in it to. Hope that helps.

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman
It's a classic, and still relevant.
