So I'm finally done with the Golden Compass series and now I'm looking for something else to start. I'm not into mystery or non-fiction, just not my genre. So please offer suggestions, my perferred genre is Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

I picked up 'The Works of HG Wells' at Borders over the summer for 15 bucks or so. It has The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, The First Men in the Moon, The Food of the Gods, and The War of the Worlds.

He is classic science fiction. I really like sci-fi (I have a box filled with over 100 Star Wars novels. Don't tell anyone), but subject matter aside, I often find the writing to be sub-par. This is obviously not a problem with Wells. War of the Worlds is by far my favorite story. He manages to instill a real sense of dread and fear in the reader without ever having to resort to graphic violence or shock value.

Plus the book comes in a burgundy hardcore with a really cool golden imprint of one of the tripods from War. Own!

I've read all of those =\ I agree though he's excellent. I like The Time Machine myself.

I don't think I'd have much interest in reading Star Wars. I read a couple but meh.

I would suggest some Robert Heinlein:

Stranger In A Strange Land (an all time fave)
Number of the Beast
Glory Road

to name a few.


The Foundation series by Asimov (classic SciFi)

The Berserker books of Saberhagen (where the Cylons were originated IMO)

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen Donaldson (dry, but good)

The Minervan Experiment by James Hogan (a very good read)

Terry Brooks is a good writer.
All of the Shannarah series' are good, and so are the Word/Chaos series.

Did you ever read any of King's Dark Tower series?

Some of the ones Byl listed look interesting. I've read some of Heinlen's stuff it's ok I guess. I have read pretty much all of Brooks stuff save the last enstallment I got a little tired of it to be honest. Never heard of King's Dark Tower though...who is the author?

I read this last year, and thought it was pretty decent.

hrrmm this does sound interesting....

Product Description
Matthew Sobol was a legendary computer game designer--the architect behind half a dozen popular online games. His premature death from brain cancer depressed both gamers and his company's stock price. But Sobol's fans weren't the only ones to note his passing. He left behind something that was scanning Internet obituaries, too--something that put in motion a whole series of programs upon his death. Programs that moved money. Programs that recruited people. Programs that killed. Confronted with a killer from beyond the grave, Detective Peter Sebeck comes face-to-face with the full implications of our increasingly complex and interconnected world--one where the dead can read headlines, steal identities, and carry out far-reaching plans without fear of retribution. Sebeck must find a way to stop Sobol's web of programs--his Daemon--before it achieves its ultimate purpose. And to do so, he must uncover what that purpose is . . .

Hmmmm, that is an interesting intro to the book. I will be looking for that one as well as the Book of Fate, but after suggesting the Foundation series, I ended up dusting off my set and started rereading , heh.
