OT: Favorite Sci-Fi books
I was surprised (in a good way) when I found out that somebody here have read Michael Swanwick. Would be interesting to hear about your favorite Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk books. It's a good way to find something to read. Some of my favorites include Solaris by Stanislav Lem, Gods Themseves by Isaac Asimov, and... let me pick something modern... Pattern Recognition by William Gibson. Ok, I'll stop at three titles, because othervise the list will get long.

I like space operas - so Peter F. Hamilton (Nights Dawn Trilogy), David Weber (Honor Harington series), and David Feintuch (Nicholas Seafort series) are recent reads. Fav authors are actually the less action inclined - Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Assimov, and Greg Bear to name a few. I'll name these because I've read these at least twice, I'm an avid reader).
Simon R. Green's Deathstalker series I read during the year also.
My most recent reads were:
"Time's Eye" ; Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter (second one to buy)
"Hidden Empire" (Saga of the Seven Suns) ; Kevin J. Anderson
I'll spend the next while catching up on Kevin Anderson's work - right after I break ranks to the Fantasy genre and finish the latest addition to the "Wheel of Time" series by Robert Jordan.

ahhh yes. books, books indeed. Although I am unaware if this particular manuscript falls into the Sci-Fi genre, but "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" rubs me the right way. That being said, I mean "rubs" the same way I might mean gnarly. And by "gnarly," I mean, with the hard g. And yes, I am aware that none of the past sentences make "sense." And by "sense" I don't mean "cents." Is it time to turn in for the night? Why yes, I do think so. Sorry, It's been a long night, and fiction, or science fiction is taking over.
