I really loved Science Fiction. It was all I read for years. Here's a list of some of what I've read with perhaps a comment of two on the books. I will eventually add to this page some talk about my favorite authors.. but you can tell them from the list.
The only other thing that I might add to this is that some of the very very best are missing from this list because I have a tendency, when I really like something, to want to share it, and over the years have given the best ones away to people. Oh well, such is life.

Chalker, Jack L. |
Jack Chalker has this way of writing the
same book over and over and over... but a little different each time so that
you love them all. Basically what happens in every book is that the main character(s) are transformed into different bodies.. some much more handicapped than their original bodies. And yet, each learns to become a better person.. more confident.. more capable.. Thus proving over and over that it's not the body you have to work with, but the mind that's driving it that matters. |

The Cosmic Computer (Original Title: Junkyard Planet) |
This is the first SciFi book (other than Tom Swift) I ever picked up. I think I was 13 or so. I started to read it, but could not get into it. About a year later I started to read it again... and couldn't put it down until I was finished. I guess that's when I got hooked. |
