    Sci-fi novels

    A Stranger In A Strange Land by Robert Heinlein is an excellent book as is the Hyperion/Endymion quadriology By Dan Simmons. Anything by Phillip K Dick. also for quick hits Edmund Cooper books are cool and Mr Clarke is awesome as always.

    Poll: Best sci-fi book series ever

    That series was awesome right up until book 5, where it got really really shit, convoluted and only served to stroke Kings massive ego. i am this disappointed because i paid actual money for all the books. and loved the first 4. The ending blows too. I am suggesting Dan Simmons Hyperion/Fall...
