I broke down and figured out my list. These are mostly in order, but on a different night some of them might end up in different places.


1. Nightfall -Isaac Asimov
2. Lucifer's Hammer -Niven/Pournelle
3. Enders Game -Orson Scott Card
4. 1984 -George Orwell
5. Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus -Orson Scott Card
6. Hamlet -William Shakespeare
7. Aliens -Alan Dean Foster
8. The Hobbit -J. R. R. Tolkien
9. Foundation -Isaac Asimov
10. The Stand –Stephen King


There's a hundred other books I could add to this list, but then it wouldn't be my ten favorite would it. These are basically the books I've read the most times and will again read in the future.

beauty in the breakdown

In no particular order:

Catch-22, Joseph Heller
Lord of the Rings, Tolkien
The Alchemist, Paulo Cuehlo
2001: A Space Oddysey, Arthur C. Clarke
The Things They Carried, Tim O'Brien
A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway
One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer
Run With the Horsemen, Ferrol Sams

My current "status" message (But outside it kept raining) is actually a line from A Farewell to Arms. The line comes at a crucial junction in the book, and given what the rain has come to symbolize and the events that precede the line, it sends a shiver up my spine everytime I read it. Such a simple line, and yet such beauty.

I decided to pick series just because. Well, there are too many bests, or favorites, so mentioning The Power of One, or Courtship Rites, or Floating Worlds is just too limiting. So in random order, 10 aggregates, or collectives or whatever you call 'em. There are many more, but I have to stop somewhere.

C.S. Forrester's Hornblower

Stephen R. Donaldson's Chronicals of Thomas Covenant

Donald Jack's Bandy Papers

George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman Papers

John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee

Tolkien's Hobbits

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time

Larry Niven's Known Space

R.A.H's Methuselah

Dorothy Dunnet's House of Niccolo

I've love reading, but the book that set me to reading science fiction was Robert Heinlein's ROCKETSHIP GALLIEO. I was in Shriner's hospital in Portland, Oregon when I discovered a copy in the ward. I realize it's dated but it reminded me that what a friend and I had been doing, making our own gunpowder and launching rockets.
Also another good read, while dated, is WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE and AFTER WORLDS COLLIDE by Philip Wylie.
It is maddening as all hell that with all the great books and story lines in SciFi and fantasy the studios and networks can't find or do one right.
