Science Fiction

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.

The Rapture Effect

 

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.

This the first novel in the set where an engineer ends up in the middle ages and decides to "fix things up a little". It's great. If you ever played with the idea of what would you do if you found yourself in a pre-technological setting, this book is a totally fun read.

The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump

What if magic was real, and the by-products of doing it was toxic waste? Sorta like industry, on the side effects are stranger. And what if someone was dumping illegal waste? Hum....

Varley, John

Millennium

This was made into a really bad movie with Cheryl Ladd, Kris Kristofferson and Daniel J. Travanti. Why do they always pick the worst books to make a movie out of. In the internet movie dB on this movie there is a comment that says "friends don't let friends watch films like this"
