[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 6104811, member: 70"] More book recommendations, particularly for katcircus (Yeah, I finally wandered downstairs to look at my one accessible bookshelf). [I]The Forever War[/I] - Joe Haldeman [I]Wool[/I] - Hugh Howey (dystopian sf; not space) SF not located in America: [I]The Windup Girl[/I] - Paolo Bacigalupi (Bangkok, Thailand) [I]River of Gods[/I] - Ian McDonald (India) [I]Brasyl[/I] - Ian McDonald (Brazil) [I]The Dervish House[/I] - Ian McDonald (Istanbul, Turkey) Of the Ian McDonald books, I think [I]River of Gods[/I] is the furthest into the future. It gets into AI's and that sort of thing, which could lead one into [I]Neuromancer[/I] (William Gibson), [I]Snow Crash[/I] (Neal Stephenson), and [I]The Diamond Age[/I] (Neal Stephenson). For fantasy that IS based on western European culture but ought to be read anyways, [I]The Deed of Paksenarrion[/I], by Elizabeth Moon. She writes quite a lot of SF as well, which I have generally not found as engrossing as Paks, but is a good light read. [/QUOTE]
