To Your Scattered Bodies Go, Philip Jose Farmer
While reading through this I realized that I pobably haven't read very much classic sci fi, but The Demolished Man, Snow Crash, and More Than Human are on my list of books to read. If you've read any of those I have not read, let me know what you thought.
Wow so many good books. I love To Your Scattered Bodies Go, but I also loved Stranger in a Strange Land. Neuromancer is up there for me as well, but I really recommend Pattern Recognition by Gibson.
ReplyDeleteHave you read Eragon by Christopher Paolini? It is pretty good fantasy. I haven't seen the movie, but the book was good. It is part of a trilogy. The second book is Eldest and the third is Inheritance, but it isn't out yet.
