Sci-Fi book suggestions

posted 3 years ago by Smith1980 3 years ago by Smith1980 +14 / -0

I love all sci-fi but my favorite sub-genre of it is going out and exploring space. What are some good books in that area? Or Space Opera. I love Star Trek (not the new stuff) and Babylon 5 so any books with that sort of theme of a spacefaring civilization

I've heard good things about Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. Haven't read it yet though, it's on my ever expanding list.

You could also go to the classics and read Asimov, I loved his books when I was a kid.

Oh and if you want something seriously weird and different, find something from the Strugatsky brothers. Old Russian sci-fi is fucking crazy. I recommend Roadside Picnic (the book that inspired the STALKER series) and The Doomed City (just... what). Neither of those are really about a spacefaring civilization, I'm just mentioning these in case you'd like to go outside your comfort zone.
