The next book to read

Its a good book, I recommend it anyone over the age of 16 lol

gotcha snapper

To be honest, I am really looking forward to and holding out to read The Prometheus Vault ! But if there is one I want to read now it would be One Stephen King wrote about being able to go back in Time and Change what happened that day to Kennedy !!!

Tom Wolfe. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test

@snapper, if you're going to read dune, i suggest reading dune:butlerian jihad first. It's explains a lot of what happens in that universe heading up to dune.

Sorry Freeze thats badly worded on my part the short list show Are ones I have done allready !

I like God Emperor Of Dune, my copy is that old it smells of almonds, lol but yeah you kinda need to read the other books first....

@snapper, Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers is a pretty awesome read!

PRO 11 never heard of them ? shall look into it HA HA looked ! LSD, beat generation, hippies from 1968 ! the year i was born ! must have been a good year ! not so sure on that one , but i wont discount it !

While we're on the subject of DUNE..... the covers of the 80's reprint all linked up. I was wondering if the 1st ed. also did? (I only have one first edition.)

@pro ii, i don't believe they did

damm! -goes back to sniffing his book oh btw you can write my name as PRO 2 the II is meant to be roman numerals lol

PRO 2, lol. got it! I liked my version though!

Check out the Spiderworld series, by Colin Wilson. I quite enjoyed them.

Reality Dysfunction by Peter Hamilton is a great read.

Arthur C Clarke - Rendezvous with Rama. In case u havent read it yet, must read. But only the first and original one in the series, the ones that came after get pretty lame.

I read "Rama" when I was a kid and loved it....very cinematic! Always thought it would have made a great "2001" style space epic.

I read some Gregg Bear recently that I liked. There is a two part book called The Forge of God and Anvil of Stars. The first book is just a warm up for the next book. Still, Bear is an acquired taste, and I spit out his City of Angels.

wtf is The Prometheus Vault??? and I second Starship Troopers, the OG novel so bears the retarded movie

some interesting suggestions there is the book starship troopers much different from the film storyline wise as sometimes does happen ? the spiderworld and the gregg bear books sound like contenders keep them coming But Reality Dysfunction is winning at the moment !

Pratchett/Gaiman - Good Omens (how is this not a movie yet?!?) - very funny, completely out there. If you want to be fully immersed in a whole new universe written by an acceptional talent (whos non sci fi work is just as good if not better) you cant look much further than Iain M Banks' 'Culture' series - immense - and probably too epic for film makers to even contemplate.

Just ordered Schismatrix (plus) by Bruce Sterling. Given that I'm a huge cyberpunk fan, I'm almost embarrassed that this is my first by the author. There are a lot of interesting parallels to many theories for Prometheus, so I figure it's a great time to read this. Anyone on this board should check it out.

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I cant find it any where as a book yes butb as an audio book no ! so no reality disfunction for me then !

Have you read the Rendezvous with Rama series? I really liked them. Well the later books not so much, but still a good read.

oops someone beat me to it.... :)

read the Forever war by joe haldeman it is heavily plagiarised by cameron for aliens and avatar it has been the no 1 sci fi book since 1974 in book shops ridley scott has just finished aquiring the rights to it after a 25year bid the book is stone cold amazing and never lets go of you from page 1 I like the military feel of grunts in lightspeed travel and the deadly teachings of a battlescared marine of new recruits on an ice cold planet beyond pluto ps the sequel books to it were complete rubbish example the first matrix vs matrix 2 and 3

As far as audiobooks go, i can recommend Clarkes' 3001. Get over the old guy reading it and listen. You wont be dissapointed. Also Doug Naylors Red Dwarf Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers and Better than Life. Chris Barrie excels himself with his impressions of the characters.
