* = Strongly Recommend

Science Fiction:

  • I've read and liked other books by Frederick Pohl, Cordwainer Smith, James Blish, Philip K. Dick, Alfred Bester, Ursula K. LeGuin, Arthur C. Clarke, Roger Zelazny, Gene Wolfe, Gregory Benford, Kurt Vonnegut, Theodore Sturgeon, Greg Bear, Sherri S. Teppe, H.G. Wells, Brian Aldiss, Robert Silverburg.

  • *(HC 8) Ringworld by Larry Niven, and its sequels

  • (PC 6) Not a fan of Samuel Delany, I read his Trouble on Triton book.

  • *(HC 7) I've read a lot of the rest of Heinlein's books

  • (HC 5) A Canticle for Liebowitz. It's okay, but not highly recommended.

  • (HB 16)* The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin. Good book, not sure whether it's a book to read again for a while though. Rather heartwringing.

  • (PB 25)* Flowers for Algernon


    Fantasy

    I've read other books by L. Sprague DeCamp, Sherri S. Tepper, George R.R. Martin, Jack Vance, Gene Wolfe, Poul Anderson.

  • (20)*Time and Again: One of the best time travel stories I've ever read.

  • (19)*Riddlemaster: I can't say enough about this trilogy, or about Patricia McKillip in general.

  • (6)*Amber. resorts to fascinating

  • (15, 5) I never finished either... They were good, but not page-turning enough. I'll have to try again sometime.

  • (43)*Replay: The base premise is reminiscent of Groundhog Day, but this is a lot more elaborate and dramatically emotional.
