I love so many! Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Dirk Gently, Star Trek, Star Wars, Thursday Next… I could go on
Funny thing about the books we love. We can go on and on. ?❤???
FORTY TWO!
Dune series by Frank Herbert.
I second that motion! ??♀️
Hmmm Maze Runner by James Dashner and Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I like both of those too. Have you read Fire and Flood by Victoria Scott?
Never heard of it 🙂 can you give me a short description?
Contestants compete for a cure for a sickness a family member has. In this story they have to find an egg that when it hatches has an animal with special abilities that help their player. It was one I read in 1 day so I really liked it and the sequel. Let me know if you read it.
I will look for it 🙂 Thanks
Rendezvous With Rama…
Great choice, love that story ?
Arthur C. Clarke at his finest!
Don’t forget the two sequels,and if you heard of the interstellar object that passed through our solar system a while back (true story) I was so disappointed they didn’t name it Rama.
Weren’t there three sequels? Rama II; The Garden of Rama; Rama Revealed. I know Gentry Lee co-wrote the latter novels.
I thi k that’s right @Kamil…he also co-wrote Cradle, didn’t he?
Yes, I believe so. I haven’t read Cradle as of yet, though. My favorite ACC short story, however, remains “Rescue Party.” 😉
I have other science fiction favorites but recently read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
It’s on my ever growing list!!
Oh god, where do I start? ?
The Lensman series by E.E. “Doc” Smith
The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
The Foundation series, Isaac Asimov
The Polity novels, Neal Asher
Everything written by Peter F. Hamilton ?
…I could keep going, but it’d take too long lol
I freakin love Drew Karpyshyn’s work???! I’ve fallen immediately in his Mass Effect trilogy, and Star Wars books also, especially Revan! What an amazing mind! And actually, I was just reading, collection of science fiction short stories written by a group of Polish science fiction writers ☺️
Is Mass Effect based on the video game?
It’s a separate story in a way, but yes, connected, more focusing on Anderson, but you can get an idea, for example who is Grayson (though, shamely, in the game he is only mentioned once! and not so significantly, [not to spoil] – what happened to Kail Leng’s legs, actually I don’t reckon if it is mentioned in the game at all). And some other really fun facts, considering Anderson, and Kahlee Sanders (I was really disappointed of the fact that she wasn’t really shown more in the game…) Some horrendous acts of Cerberus with TIM on top of it… really great stories. But I think I loved ME: Ascension the most, I just couldn’t stop reading!! I need to get back to them all some day, definitely 😀
Thank you!! I’ll have to look into these.
You’re welcome! 🙂
Any of Asimov’s works.
Also really liked The Revenger by Alistair Reynolds and secretly hoping there’s a sequel but if not it’s ok.
I like old sci fi, The Midwich Cuckoo’s, The Crysalids, Ray Bradbury ???
I love John Wyndham!
Day of the Triffids is one of my all time favourites ?
So is Fahrenheit 451…
Have you read any of these guys:
A.E. Van Vogt
Clifford Simak
Robert Silverberg
E.E. “Doc” Smith
Some great old school sci-fi
Anne McCaffrey’s Freedom’s Landing series and the Primes series
Yes, to both, and the Crystal Singer series
Currently the Expanse series (just the books) by James S. A. Corey. 7 down and 2 to go as soon as they are published. Brilliant space opera.
David Drake, David Weber,Harry Harrison, Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, love it all.
To many to choose!
Out of the Silent Planet series
Hard to choose a favorite…
Richard K. Morgan’s Takeshi Kovacs trilogy is up there for sure!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, as I like a good laugh! 😀
You sound like a hoopy frood who knows where your towel is ??
Against the Fall of Night by Arthur C. Clarke.
Star Trek and Doctor Who
I loved the lunar series too unique!
Otherland by Tad Williams
Lunar Chronicles and Star Wars (if it counts)
Can’t say series but author is split between Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick
Both are Masters
Yes, yes they are.
The Expanse Series
The only Sci-Fi I’ve read is The Lunar Chronicles?. And im on book 3 so yeah. Dont spoil?
Cress! ?
I still havent started it but heard its better. So high hopes?
Foundation Trilogy – Issac Asimov. 2nd favorite the Dune Saga – Frank Herbert.
Both are excellent
Harry Harrison’s Stainless Steel Rat series.
Philip José Farmer’s Riverworld series.
Nice.
Been a while since I’ve read that…might have to read it again soon ?
Old school but kept you coming back for more.
Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Mars series.
I love The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. So far, those are the only two of that series that I’ve read.
If I have to chose one, it would be Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars. It’s a trilogy about the terraforming of Mars.
I’ve been thinking about reading those.
Are they good?
They are amazing. The science in them is great. The whole time I was reading them, I kept thinking, “Yup, that’s the way it would go.” The series also deals with how a separate Mars culture evolves.
Wow!! Now I need to add to my ever growing THE pile!! Thanks everyone!
Station 11 by Emily St John Mandel! Or, actually, now that I think of it — 20,000 Leagues under the Sea is by Jules Vernes is probably my fave!
Right now, I am reading J.D. Robb’s “… in Death” series.
Hitchhikers guide, Ray Bradbury, PKD
Also Wells, Stevenson, Verne
Burroughs, L’engle,
Lewis’s Space trilogy, Dr Who and Star Trek/Star Wars,
Foundation Trilogy – Asimov…
Neuromancer
I don’t know about a sci-fi series, but my favourite sci-fi books are ‘The Forever War’ by Joe Halderman and ‘The Door Into Summer’ by Robert Heinlein ?
I do like The Forever War, but I don’t think I’ve read The Door Into Summer.
I’ll have to track a copy down ?
@Gordon The Door Into Summer is definitely in my top 5 all-time favourite books! I read it as part of my uni course but I’ve re-read it since – it’s so good!
Heinlein was my into to SF back in 1973 . l have read and loved everything of his I’ve ever been able to get my hands on .
@Diana I didn’t like Starship Troopers – I found it quite misogynistic and really boring tbh!
As I think that was one of the young adult / teen books , right the age I was when I read them so I’m sure I would look at them diff if I were to read therm today .
@Diana Yeah maybe – I had to read it for uni!
The ship who sang by Anne McCaffrey and Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder
Ender series by Orson Scott Card.
x-files, Fringe
Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern,
Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land, Methuselah’s Children and Time Enough for Love
Harry Harrison’s Stainless Steel Rat series
I love the Dragonriders of Pern stories.
Time Enough for Love is probably my favourite Heinlein novel
I have many of Anne Caffery’s book’s..including this one.
Pern is in the top 10 series I love
I love the Grand Tour series of books by Ben Bova. I love any Arthur C. Clarke novel
Anything by Andre Norton and Isaac Asimov. They started my love of science fiction!
Fahrenheit 451 is one of my all time favorite books
Legit my fav book EVER.
Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have many..but love Bradbury..( Steven King was a big fan of his).
Series would be TLC but my favorite sci Fi book is Fahrenheit 451.
The Dune, the Space Odyssei, the Time Odyssei, the Long Land, everything from Asimov, Douglas Adams-books, Ray Bradbury’s books…
The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy
Diskworld
I grew up next door to Theodore Sturgeon, and I own a signed book by him, E Pluribus Unicorn, it’s short stories, and my fave is The Professors Teddy Bear
Wow!! That’s pretty awesome! Sounds like an interesting book, I’ll have to check it out.
@Tami I’m glad – it’s pretty twisted tho – he used to sneak over to our house to borrow dad’s pipe tobacco
And my dad was a fisherman, hence the Sturgeon reference
Same! I also like Dark Matter by Blake Crouch but it’s a stand-alone!
but i digress = his most famous book was More Than Human
At least one day a week is National Science Fiction Day for me. I posted above my three favorite series. I need to add Piers Anthony’s Xanth and Anne McCaffrey’s Dragon Riders of Pern series, which I read in my youth and have recently begun to reread. They’re even better now (I’m pushing 70).
