Should I feel good about myself that I've only heard of 3 of those? [/ QUOTE ] It really depends on where you live. I hear that ignorance is a virtue in most of the world. ~D |

Re: Top 20 \"geek\" novels
I've read 16/20. The results so far seem pretty much in line with what I'd expect. I thought the numbers for Snow Crash might be a little higher, and American Gods is far too low. I know geeks and non-geeks who like Neil Gaiman, and he's among my favorite authors.

Re: Top 20 \"geek\" novels
I voted no on all of these. Also, I've never even heard of most of these books. I might be illiterate.

Re: Top 20 \"geek\" novels
Only 2. Both of the Asimov books. I Robot is a great collection of short stories.

Only one for me, Brave New World because we were forced to read it in High School. [/ QUOTE ] |

Again, to the people who haven't read (or heard of ) most of these, I'd still recommend Neil Gaiman. American Gods or Neverwhere would both be good places to start. |

[ QUOTE ] Also, I second the motion to put Ender's Game on the list. I might also add Farenheit 451 [/ QUOTE ] You mean Ender's Starship Game Troopers? ~D [/ QUOTE ] You say that like it's a bad thing. A little Heinlein goes a long way, I'll admit. "The Forever War", the hippy anti-'Troopers', is a Hugo winner and another classic. Interstellar war complete with time dilation and a 1500 year old protagonist. Sweet. |
