• Neuromancer by Gibson
• Snow Crash by Stephenson
• the Uplift series by Brin
• the Amber series by Zelazny
• the Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit by Tolkien

There are a number that I’ve realized I really enjoyed, but read so long ago that I’ve forgotten a lot and will reread soon. Those include Blood Music by Bear, and a whole bunch of Clarke novels.

Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, What If, Percy Jackson, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (all 5 books), Isaac Asimov’s Robot series, It’s not Rocket Science, The End of Everything.

I have 2 in mind.

• The Martian by Andy Weir
• Thieves Emporium by Max Hernandez (WARNING: sexual assult in chapter 10 but can be skipped)

Jurassic Park, A Song of Ice and Fire

When I finished reading Blood Meridian I said WTF, turned to the first page and read it again.
