It's time to select a book for November! I'll collect nominations for the next couple of days.
These are the nominations from October that didn't a chance to be voted on proper:
- Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
- Godspeed by Charles Sheffield
- Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer
- A memory called Empire
- Hyperion
- Revelation Space
- Empire of Silence (Suneater series 1)
Please add more or throw your support down for one of these! For me this month I will nominate:
Omega Rising (book 1 of Omega Force) by Joshua Dalzelle
UPDATE: We have some winners!
I think we need a few from the grandfather's of science fiction.
I think The Moon is a Harsh Mistress or Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein, or... I guess most things from Asimov (it's hard to pick something not part of a series), would be good options.
This is the better of the two. It's got AIs! And communists! And memes! It's a natural fit for Lemmy.
It's also one of the few Heinlein books not completely full of misogynistic sexual fantasies.
I had forgotten but I read this a while back. It's quite a ride.
Nothing wrong with the beginning of a series as long as it can stand on it's own.
Then I think Foundation from Asimov would be good, although there's several places in the universe you could start.
I, Robot is another one that people might be more familiar with, although the movie has very little to do with the book besides the title and being about robots.
