Anon posted this earlier in a general >>8078729. Any suggestions on which one to start with? Which one is the best?
>>8084438
never let me go is one of the best novels of all time. it will teach you to stop wasting time in your life.
>>8084438
>Samuel Delaney
>Ursula K. Le Guin
good stuff
Seems to be a theme of power
>>8084438
Solaris is good. Roadside Picnic is good. Heart of the Dog is a-we-so-me.
>>8084438
I read The Slynx in a post WWII Russian lit class in college. It was pretty cool. Haven't read the others but 'Never Let Me Go' has been collecting dust on my shelf for the last two years. Maybe I'll read it soon.
>>8084438
Start with the classics:
Forever War, Dune, Nueromancer, A Hitchhikers Guide, etc.
>>8084450
nigga i tried it and couldnt stand the narrator
should i try again?
>>8084438
I think The Shadow of the Torturer is the best, but I'd say A Canticle for Leibowitz is the best starting place probably. I love Never Let Me Go very much, but it's not necessarily what a science fiction fan is looking for.
How do I peer into the pedophiles?
>>8085405
Hahah, well I never knew that buttonholes look like vaginas.
>>8085405
you forgot to add sophie's world by jostein gaarder
>>8085405
this whole hebephile bullshit, you need to cut this shit out
it's not a "sexuality" to find pubescent women attractive; they are the most evolutionarily fit, can bear children, etc
Can anyone recommend some light current sci-fi adventure? Written 5-10 years ago.
>>8084438
first three are good (from the top left), don't know the other ones, apart from picnic, which is also good
>>8084438
Best on that list is Solaris and Canticle for Leibowitz, and most would say Wolfe. Lem's other great one, His Master's Voice is good too.
>>8085422
>they are the most evolutionarily fit
>misusing a biological term this extremely
Oh I am laffin
Evolutionary fitness is measuring reproductive *success* - not what your dick thinks is potential
>>8084450
lol it's pretty good but nothing fantastic
>>8085147
Seconded. Heart of a Dog and Nova are the best novels on the list. The Last Question is a great short story so that too
>>8085443
I no ryte, culture is the reason that young soft women in the prime of nubility consistently make my dick hard as a purely autonomous response to seeing them.

Then why didn't you fucking keep that plebshit there?
I enjoyed "Earth Abides" George R. Stewart

>>8087891
Oh you
>>8084438
>Roadside Picnic
my nigga
it's a great book
>>8085417
>sophie's world
Shit, I read that when I was like 14. I thought it was just a sick ass basic summary of philosophy. What the hell did I miss?
>Dying Earth
>Not The Dragon Masters
>>8087891
>Shadow Ops
1/20 correct. Not bad
SF is one of my least-liked genres in literature. Among its short stories, however, I liked Ted Chiang's Exhalation a lot.
>>8088052
well, i read the alice in wonderland when i was like 6, i thought it was a pretty fairy tail, and it apparently a foundation of the pedo literature
at least sophie's world has an older philosopher who 'teaches' an under age girl secretly from her mom...

>Patrician detected.
Plz leave thread
>>8088088
sick post number
>>8087891
What's so bad about Robert E. Howard?
>>8084438
Roadside Panic is fantastic
Solaris was good
Didn't finish Heart of a Dog but it was good
>>8085422
May a Russian spy beat you into a bloody pulp while you're on your patio barbequing.
>>8084438
>Nightfall
The book is great until the Eclipse arrives (the first part). When the second part starts it goes on like we expected with almost no twist at all. The last part were the protagonists live this post-apocalyptic world is totally generic.
Why this book over Neither The Gods or the classics?
If you like Dark Souls then read Wolfe and Vance.
>>8088904
Nightfall refers to the short story, not the novel. The short story ends with the eclipse.

>Urusla le Reddit
Why do people like this meme author?
>>8089295
Same reason they like Pynecone and Df-hanged himself-w
>>8089295
Because The Left Hand Of Darkness is good.
The Lathe of Heaven is shite, though.
>>8087891
Dhalgren is incredible
>>8088908
And Moorcock
