greedo626 Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 Timeline is a really good book. I was going to post about it but I forgot. there were so many unexpected things in that book (which is what made it good). I'm really lucky. I work at remote storage for all the libraries in south east PA. I work alone or with my brother so I can listen to books on tape while I put books away... and get paid for it:D ... me so lucky:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckcsaber Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 ^ link doesn't work. :/ Anyways, I think Haley Joel Osmit (sp?) would play the perfect Ender. (Kid from 6th sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormHammer Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Here are a few more good reads if you're into SF... The Mote In God's Eye, Dream Park by Larry Niven Fade Out by Patrick Tilley Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. D.ick (made into the film Blade Runner) The Engines Of God by Jack McDevitt The Stone God Awakens by Philip Jose Farmer The Deathworld trilogy by Harry Harrison The Skylark, Lensman and Lord Tedric series by E.E. 'Doc' Smith - (Lord Tedric and the Iron Sphere is a rip-off of Star Wars, BTW). Who Goes There? a short story by John W. Campbell on which The Thing was based. The Antenna Syndrome by Alan Marks - it's like a weird PI gig, and for some reason I just found it immensely entertaining. Invasion Of The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney Any of the Aliens novels (not the ones based on the films, but the extended universe) are also a good read. I also used to enjoy the Fargo (soldier of fortune) stories by John Benteen And if you haven't read them...go and read the original James Bond novels by Ian Fleming - because they can be quite different from the movies. I obviously spent far too much time browsing through second-hand book shops in my youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuRaSaMuNe Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 It was the best of times... it was the worst of times..... Rainbow Six is a kick ass book. Anyone read the book "I, Cyborg"? Apparently some guy hooked his input/output signals from his brain over the net and controlled a robotic arm in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
