Old Timer

Funny, because the ones I have read from the list skew considerably older, and stop about 1973.

(Okay, I’ve read the entire Harry Potter series, but I’m not sure that belongs on this list.)

I was a teenager when I read the Heinlein books on the list. To my adult perspective, they’re a little (je ne sais quoi) authoritarian.

On the plus side, there are clear lines between good and evil (mankind good, gigantic bugs bad).

It’s funny, with the perspective of time, to think that an awards committee could ever equate anything by Roger Zelazny and Dune by Frank Herbert.

MarieStardust

Yeah, 1966 is clearly

Blunder Year. What on Mars were they thinking?

Also, I’m a bit ashamed. 15 books out of 50-or-so? And I say I know science-fiction?

I think I’ll start with Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. You read it?

Monotreme l'orange

Not yet

I have such a huge stack of books, but what’s one more?

I have always been slanted towards what we used to call “hard” science fiction, and away from the fantasy and Space Opera type stories.

That would be another case in which Harry Potter is the exception.

It’s not on the list, but have you read The Mote in God’s Eye by Niven and Pournelle? It was a long time ago, but I remember it as being a nice anthropological study, sort of like Dune in that regard. I always loved Niven’s “Known Space” stories with the puppeteers — they remind me of a certain country with which Americans now have a love/hate relationship.

Also, I have on my “to read” shelf both a book by “James Tiptree” and a biography of her.

I hate you!

Don’t tell me about books. Don’t make me want to read them. I can’t.
Okay I think I will :)

Haven’t read anything by “Tiptree”. What do you recommend?

Jan 30, 2007, 08:24AM PST | Thread | Respond to this 2 cheers

Monotreme l'orange

I haven't either

I haven’t read her work yet, so I don’t have anything to recommend.

I heard about her story through an article in the New York Times Review of Books.

So, I bought both this biography by Julie Phillips and Tiptree’s short story collection, Her Smoke Rose Up Forever.

As a lifelong reader and sometime writer, I’m fascinated by the concept of a “male” and “female” voice. Does such a thing exist, or is it a culturally-imposed model?

I’ll report back after I’ve read them, but it will probably be this summer before I have time.

Edit: for some reason, the above hyperlink doesn’t work. Here’s a Wikipedia entry for James Tiptree, Jr.

Wow. But at least I won’t run short of recommendations for a while, thanks :)

I’m just glad Hyperion is on there. Hyperion was absolutely brilliant.

What do you mean by "five"?

okay listen: what about Startide Rising? Read it? Not “brilliant”, some shortcomings, but alors some wonders. I’d give anything (except of course my Chantal Thomass bras) to speak Trinary.

Great goal.

I’m currently reading (again) 1962’s Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein.

And what's your opinion

on it?

Feb 20, 2007, 12:10PM PST | Thread | Respond to this

Cookie

In my opinion

it’s Heinlein’s finest work, and the reason I’m reading it for the third time. I love this author, and would highly recommend any of his books.

Thanks.

I really look forward to reading them.

I'll finish

SiaSL tonight. I love it, but I like the first part (before cult/churches/religion come in the foreground) much better than the last.
I find Heinlein immensely funny and very witty. Also clever and clear sighted.
