All Time Favorite Science Fiction

Tuesday, April 27, 2010

Amid different reading genres, it is the science fiction which tops the acceptance charts. After all, the action and the interest factor of the science fictions can easily make them a must read. There are several books that make use of science fiction as their background to capture the interest of the readers. However, there are various others which are pure science fictions as well. Let’s have a look at some of the must read science fiction books.

‘Dune’ is possibly the first title that comes to any sci-fi enthusiast’s brain when speaking of top science fiction. Written by Frank Herbert, this book is considered by many to be the ultimate challenger to the also mythical ‘Lord of the Rings’ by J.R.R. Tolkien. In fact, many critics have labeled the book as ‘the pinnacle of literary achievement’ in the realm of science fiction writing.

Another good sci fi read is ‘Snow Crash’ written by Neal Stephenson. The book is of the cyberpunk genre and the plot revolves around a guy who’s a part-time hacker, samurai swordsman and pizza delivery guy. This is an action packed read that will keep you connected from the first.

If you’re a matrix fan, you are certainly going to love the book penned by Tad Williams. Tad Williams book- Otherland is a must read for all the science fiction fans. This book offers breathtaking action and adventure in every word and paragraph of it. It is different from many other science fictions which concentrate on other aspects a lot more than the action. This book has a primary emphasis on action alone. The book starts at a nice pace but eventually catches up on speed and attention factor.

Endear s Game by Orson Scott Card is an additional sci-if book that is one of its sorts. This book combines human emotion together with science fiction and makes for a engaging read. The book is centered on the story of a boy who is all set to defend the fate of mankind. The boy’s never say die philosophy amidst loads of sci fi drama makes this one a must read.

In case you have been reading books on science fiction for quite some time now, then Forever War is sure to please your attention. This book is written by Joe Haldeman and makes a strong point that war is not needed. The book has oodles of drama ‘n action and could be disturbing at some point in time. The book is pretty complex so you can steer clear of this 1 if you’ve just started reading sci-fi.

For all those who are lovers of science fiction, the already discussed books are a must read. Pick any of them and you’re bound to have a great reading experience.
