Top 20 "geek" novels

[samjjones]

Watchmen is excellent. I heartily endorse.

[Georgia Avenue]

I've read all except the last...Wyndam? G00t?

Missing: Jack Vance, Richard Bachman, Dark Knight Returns, Bruce Sterling, Larry Niven... (less Anglocentric!)

nice poll....i almost bought the latest stephenson novel in the airport the other day, but saw it was part of a trilogy....has anyone read the first couple books and have any thoughts? i really liked cryptonomicon....

[durron597]

I'm very surprised there are as many noes as there are for a lot of these, particuraly the Stevenson stuff, plus Neuromancer is a pretty well known classic.

[Jack of Arcades]

I, Robot and American Gods are must reads.

[Georgia Avenue]

I love 'em...but I'm a Geek. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

It's pretty much Cryptonomicon in the 1700s. If you hate loose ends, vague mysticism, and anachronisms, avoid. If you like long, windy and hilarious writing, dig in. I would start at the start, it's pretty complex. <3 Enlightenment...

I haven't read 4 of them - guess I'm a geek.

[mmbt0ne]

Wow. 0/20. But I saw the I, Robot movie!!

I guess that makes me cool? Well, maybe not the movie part...
