CR6 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I'm not a big sci-fi guy, so I'm surprised I have read 3 of them, two of which were required reading for me in high-school (Animal Farm and Brave New World) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Eighteen. I'm a bit of a sci-fi freak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutlink Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I've got 6 under my belt Animal Farm - George Orwell Frankenstein - Mary Shelley The Giver - Lois Lowry 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea - Jules Verne The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy - Douglas Adams Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury In all fairness though, I had to read Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, and The Giver for a class in high school while I had to read 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea for college.

I also seem to recall having to read 1984 too, but memory fails a bit on that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, random Jester triviaâ„¢: I own a first edition of 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZJJ Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Does watching the movies count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Does watching the movies count? nope. what are you, 14? Cliff's notes don't count, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR6 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 nope. what are you, 14? Cliff's notes don't count, either. LOL, that reminds me I didn't finish reading Brave New World because it was so tedious, so yup I just read the Cliff's notes to make sense of the whole thing.

WhiteKnight77 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 That is something I have never used or read. I never saw the need to use Cliff's Notes for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttercupp Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Read a few things from there, but looks like I've got some reading to do. For those of you sci-fi types who haven't read any of Philip K. Dick's stuff, you're missing out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly2442 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Ender's Game - best book on the list that I've read IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat50 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Animal Farm Stranger In A Strange Land Slaughterhouse-Five Brave New World Dune 1984 Fahrenheit 451 The Andromeda Strain I always had a fondness for Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmith Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 only five on the list but a lot more of asimov's and probably the strangest book I ever read was H.G.Wells book 'The Island of Dr. Moreau". Mr Wells had some very strange but interesting ideas. 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea - Jules Verne I Robot - Isaac Asimov War Of The Worlds - H.G. Wells The Time Machine - H.G. Wells Foundation - Isaac Asimov I read the sequal to foundation but my library hasenty got the third. (this annoys me). Have also read E.E.'Doc'Smith, a bit like Asimov.
