Commandeered from tamaranth, 20 Science Fiction Books That Will Change Your Life. The descriptions sound so good...

Some of those look quite interesting! Thanks for posting the link!

You're welcome! I used to read a lot of SciFi, until the pretty pirates commandeered my brain.

The local library has Newton's Wake, I've reserved it to pick up tomorrow. How can I resist? The dialog seems to be written in Scot-speak, reminding me of Desmond, my #1-1/2 man!

Thanks for the link!

You're welcome! Mmm... I do like Scot-speak. :)

That is a truly awesome list, I must track down some of those (and I'm very glad to see The Sparrow on there; that book utterly broke my heart, so beautiful and so sad).

I have so many books to read right now, but I didn't want to lost this list. Glad you found it good, too!

Science fiction is my thing too, so I wondered what would make the list. Interesting choices -- although not all what I'd recommend if ask for 20 change-your-life titles . . . so I'm off to make my own. I will say right away that I'm okay until I get down to LeGuin and The Dispossessed. I'd replace that with The Left Hand of Darkness for sure. Then for Varley, without even thinking I'd say the short story collection Persistence of Vision, or the Barbie Murders.

Thanks for the suggestions! I've been out of SciFi for a long time, so I appreciate being pointed to the good stuff.

Thanks for the link. It looks like an interesting site that I added to my Bloglines. I'm also looking for some books to read that aren't work-related, and some of these sound good. Thanks again! :-)

You're welcome! Glad to be of service. ;)

I haven't read much SciFi lately either, so this was interesting. Thanks for the link!
