I also like Robert Rankin and his 5 part Brentford Trilogy (Also love all his other books, can't remember the names off the top of my head as its years since I've read them)
I liked Good Omens by Pratchet and Gaiman Another favourite of mine is the Myth books by Robert Asprin but they are so hard to get hold of. I got them from the library years ago and couldn't get enough of them but can't find them anywhere now. Finally I really like H.P Lovecraft and his Cthulhu mythos (Brian Lumley has done a few of these also). I managed to get Dagons Wish and Other Exaltations a while ago but that has gone missing unfortunately, something else I want to replace and will have to look out for. Theres 3 books in total with all his short stories in them.

Dune - Frank Herbert
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Philip Dick Chariots of the Gods - Erich Von Daniken All the above for different reasons and all at different times when I was growing up. The Danniken book, which was a monster seller when it first came out, is utter tosh but I really loved it when I was young. What worries me is that all my choices are pseudo-religious books

A few science fiction books I've enjoyed:
Julian May's Saga Of The Exiles trilogy Julian May's Intervention. Julian May's Galactic Milieu trilogy. Damnation Alley & Lord of Light - Roger Zelazny Finally got round to reading The Hobbit and Lord of The Rings Trilogy - I'm about half way through The Return Of The King right now - but that's not really Science Fiction, is it? |
