I was a bit of a Arthur Clarke geek in high school. Some of his books are just fantastic.
"A Fall of Moondust"
"Rendezvous With Rams"
of course "Childhoods End" |

psyops: I've never been much of a purist for genres myself--seems to me you limit a book and what it's about that way. The art of the possible vs the impossible is an interesting way to think of things though.
Theomanic and Moonknight: Neuromancer in one of my favorite books as well. It's not necessarily a great book in a political or social sense, but I thought it was a great read, gripping and inventive.
Babyblues: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress was just recommended to me by a friend, so I guess that's a second hand recommendation for you.
Pattern Recognition really disappointed me though, read it at the beginning of the summer. :/
The Giver and Ender's Game I read when I was younger and loved, and then reread when I was older and hated. Funny how that can happen. Anyone else feel that way--either about these books or others?
All-in-all, I think I've read about half and these and another quarter on my to-read list. |
