[QUOTE="ratski, post: 2860620, member: 936"] Depends on what you call sci fi. I am not a big fan of the fantasy books. Dragonriders, etc. For Apocalyptic stuff: Alas, Babylon Earth Abides Lights Out (by David Crawford) Normal Footfall Lucifer's Hammer I like Heinlien and Asimov, but didn't care for Stranger in a Strange Land much. Future history was pretty good. Dune was good, but didn't care for the prequels or followups. Ender's Game was good. Haven't read his followups yet. Don't get started on the Ashes, Deathlands or Survivor series. I loved 'em but they are repetitive. Not cerebral. Just escapism. I liked David Brin's The Postman A Canticle for Leibowitz is pretty good I also liked the "Deep Winter" series by Thomas Sherry. But this is SHTF/EOTW stuff. World War Z was better as a book than a movie One Second After (similar to Alas, Babylon) but current time setting HG Wells Jules Verne Just my ramblings. Dave [/QUOTE]
