| Re: Science Fiction
since I bigged it up in the DVD thread...
Starship Troopers by Robert A Heinlein.
Completely different to the movie, and a brilliant read.
Also Dune, by Frank Herbert. The Bio Of A Space Tyrant and Incarnations Of Immortality series by Piers Anthony ( If the Incarnations books do stray into fantasy a wee bit... ).
Potatojunkie mentioned Iain M Banks - Good call. I read The Player Of Games years ago ( Cheers for that recommendation, Monolith ) and only recently got round to picking up Excession at random. I've now gone back to the start of the Culture series to read Consider Phlebas and plan to get the rest in order. |
