Tagged, I’m It: My Reading List
July 15, 2010 1 Comment
So I received a tag from Sara Dutkiewicz yesterday, asking that I share my reading list. I’m a huge fan of hard science fiction, and over the years I’ve read a lot of it.
I just finished Saturn’s Children by Charles Stross. It was okay, not Stross’ best work. If you want to read great Stross, pick up:
- Singularity Sky
- Iron Sunrise
- Accelerando
Before that was The Unincorporated Man by Dani and Eytan Kollin. This is an awesome book! I think it would make a great movie. In the hands of a good writer and director, it could be a classic. The next book, The Unincorporated War, is out in hardcover. I’ll wait until March for the paperback- $25 is too much for a book.
Here is an incomplete list of my other favorite authors:
Peter F. Hamilton: Nights Dawn series, Nano Flower, Fallen Dragon
David Brin: Uplift War series, Kiln People
Greg Bear: Eon, Forge of God
Timothy Zahn: Cobra series, Thrawn Trilogy (first Star Wars books set after episode 6)
Neil Gaiman: American Gods, Sandman, Anansi Boys
Stephenie Meyer: The Host, Twilight series (yes, I read them…)
Kim Stanley Robinson: Mars trilogy (one of my favorites), Years of Rice and Salt
Tad Williams: Otherland series
Vernor Vinge: A Deepness in the Sky, A Fire Upon the Deep
Robert Heinlein: Stranger From a Strange Land, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
