Title: Science Fiction Masterworks
Post by: The Trampoline on May 03, 2011, 02:54:11 pm
Hey folks

Anyone reading the books off the Sci-Fi Master-works list, I'e been reading them the last few year and got through some stunning and frankly disappointingly bad stuff. Not read all of them yet, but the ones I recommend so far.

A Maze of Death - Philip K.Dick
Downward to the Earth - Robert Silverberg
Non Stop - Brian Aldiss
Martian Timeslip - Philip K.Dick
I am Legend - Richard Matehrson

Not on the list but also very good is Nightwings by Robert Silverberg

The one I strongly recommend to avoid is Tau Zero, nothing seemed to happen, it was like a soap opera in space despite the huge concept idea behind it was never explored.
