So I recently got back into reading.... And while I used to read fantasy way back in the day, I've found myself craving a bit more sci-fi related material. Even borderline future experimentation type stuff if I can find it.

Off the top of my head, Here is what I started with (Hit a bunch of top seller sci fi lists etc)


Enders Game Series by Orsen Scott Card

Foundation series by Issac Asimov

Snow Crash
Necronomicon (Havn't read this yet, need to find a weekend to plow through its 1000+ pages)

Neuromancer
Count Zero
Mona-Lisa Over drive
I forget who does the 3 listed above, I've found them extremely difficult to read though. He doesn't jump around a lot, but it seems like he does. I feel like there are some big plot holes here and there that just seem intentially left blank, but would actually be good filler. The books are only 300ish pages as is, no reason not to fill in some more info. Also, it seems like he intentionally uses large words that don't need to be used, and really winds around the story. He'll describe stuff in great detail that is just completely worthless. "A man walks down a street and sees a pebble that contains more colors than his mind can comprehend, and he wonders where it's been, and why its there, blah blah blah" . Just wierd tangent shit that has no place.


I still want to pickup the Enders Shadow series, I'd like to find a copy of 1984, and maybe clockwork orange. Some of this stuff may get off the sci fi trend, but whatever.


Anyway, was wondering if anyone else had any good suggestions for "Sci-fi-ish" books. Alternate futures, etc. I know there is a book that plays out what would of happened if Hitler won the war etc. Stuff like that I'd be interested in too.
