Science fiction
 

which books are the best? I've read some ray bradbury, and now all I know is I want more stuff like "the martian chronicles."

Ender's Game is the only scifi book i ever liked

I'm currently reading a science fiction/war book. It's plot is it's 1645, Civil war between King Charles I and Parliment, and The Holekhor are infiltrating England with forces and technology they shouldn't have for another 300 years.

It mixes quite well.

Philip K. Dick

i hear that orson scott card is way homophobic watch out

Theodore Sturgeon

little bobby heinlein

I'm actually reading Ender's Game right now, and I have to admit I have a hard time not comparing everything to his statements on homosexuality.

Asimov's magazine.

I read Ender's Game years and years ago, and I clearly remember that if it involved male to male affections to any particular level, it was not at all in a homophobic way.

Moreover, it's a great book.

Ender's Game is good, but the sequals that take place after Battle School are alot better. Childhoods End is also a good science fiction book.

Starship Troopers is fantastic.

i know, dude

The Wiz Biz

On a side note:

Ender's Game: The Movie

Red Mars.

Great read with a little bit of the shtuup action thrown in for good measure.

i know i keep reposting this link but OSC is a cock and i hope he chokes on one

these are the best Sci-fi books I've read this year..

Stone - Adamn Roberts

Only Forward - Michael Marshall Smith (sci-fi/detective, sounds like an odd coupling for the described genre of a book but it makes for a fantastic read)

Stranger in a Strange Land & Time Enough for Love - Robert A. Heinlein

Obviously, you have no knowledge of Asimov's works.

EDIT: The hell? I didn't post twice.

you know what's great about this thread is that womti in all likelihood posted it from a library :eek

no, i don't. i'd love for you to enlighten me?

Many of his works blended mystery with the science fiction genre. Read his Robot novels.

H.P. Lovecraft, but only if you're into horror sci-fi.

I also reccommend Frederick Pohl, and Madaline L'Engle, although her books are more intended for children and teens and are more on the fantasy side.
