Imagine I could only choose 5 sci fi books for a brand new sci fi reader – what would they be?

    Trying to diverge a bit from what’s already in here:

    • Douglas Adams - The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
    • Arthur C. Clarke - 2001: A Space Odyssey
    • Isaac Asimov - Caves of Steel
    • Greg Bear - Blood Music
    • Frank M. Robinson - The Dark Beyond the Stars

    The latter is a bit of a dark horse, but I unabashedly love it. It has one of my favorite endings of any novel ever.

    Honorable mentions to Ender’s Game, and Old Man’s War for sure.
