Title: Uh Oh Post by: Uisce Beatha on December 29, 2008, 08:08:52 PM There's this thing called eBay and people are selling hard to find, out of print, sci-fi books at reasonable prices. Who knew?
I could be in big trouble. Title: Re: Uh Oh Post by: dystopia on December 29, 2008, 08:31:28 PM These aren't hard to find, but I got a few sci-fi classics for Christmas. (ones I'd never read but have run across many references to, so felt I should read)
The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress - Robert A. Heinlein Childhood's End - Arthur C. Clarke The Stand - Stephen King Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card Title: Re: Uh Oh Post by: Clive on December 29, 2008, 08:48:58 PM I did NOT need to read this.
Title: Re: Uh Oh Post by: Uisce Beatha on December 30, 2008, 06:19:37 AM Cool Dys. I've read all of those. The Stand only once though. It's worth reading but tough to pick up a second time. :)
Ender's Game is one of the best sci-fi books ever. Written for children but a very compelling read for adults. I just snagged Julian May's Pliocene Exile + Intervention + Galactic Milieu series(es) (sp?) ??? Nine books total. Also R. A. MacAvoy's The Book of Kells Both top notch, kick ass, female authored (rare enough) sci-fi which I haven't been able to find in 10+ years.

Title: Re: Uh Oh Post by: gleek on December 30, 2008, 08:14:19 AM Books (with mostly words and hardly any pictures save for the one on the front cover)? Title: Re: Uh Oh Post by: Dunk on December 31, 2008, 05:57:47 PM That's an outstanding list of Sci-Fi Dys. I've read them all at least once.
And I agree, "Ender's Game" is an great book. I read the third book in the series, "Speaker for the Dead", also great. I skipped the second book at the suggestion of a fan of the series, but I think I might read it anyway. |
