lews, check out fahrenheit 451, by ray bradbury, if you like brave new world.
Really short, straight to the point, brilliant and underrated sci-fi/dystopian novel
I've done a lot of reading in my day, not for the last couple years though, but consider myself pretty well read at least in the classics... Havn't done heaps of sci-fi reading, and if it is sci-fi it's usually just dystopian stuff (like 1984, brave new world), rather than star-wars type proper sci-fi..
I loved Ender's Game by orson scott card, if you havn't read that: Tis more normal sci-fi, but with great plot and twists |
I'd actually consider 1984/BNW to be more Proper Sci-Fi than Star Wars
I enjoy reading some Star Wars novels for fun light reading occasionally, but I love the deeper cuts of the genre Huge fan of dystopian stuff.
Have read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, enjoyed them both a lot. Want to read the sequels, I've heard they get a lot more philosophical which would be interesting to read.
I love The Martian Chronicles and I've been meaning to check out 451 one of these days. I think my girlfriend actually has a signed copy of the book somewhere.
