Hi fellow readers!
I read mostly sci fi and horror. Recently reread the 2001 trilogy by Arthur C. Clarke. Even if you are not a big sci fi fan it is a classic. I have an edition where in the forward he interviews kubrick. It is really good.
I also love Stephen Baxter, Simon Clark, Greg Bear, Joe Haldemann, and Dan Simmons.
My favorite book of all time is Alas Babylon by Pat Frank.

I guess we're all busy reading! I just finished Robin Hobb's Farseer books -- great epic fantasy. First time I've read them. I'm sure glad I bought the 2 trilogies together because as soon as I finished one book I picked up the next. I also just bought my copy of the Dark Tower by Stephen King, the last book in the 7 book series. I've been waiting for the paperback edition and it's finally out. Now I'm saving the book for a nice cold weekend so I can cozy up and dive into the gunslinger's worlds.
There -- I brought up two authors with two series in two genres. Maybe that will get things hopping

Topic: RE: C. S. Lewiston I believe his name is
The Screwtape Letters is one of C. S. Lewis's more serious works. It is very thought provoking. If you like his style of writing, I also suggest his Mere Christianity. I think it is one of the best Christian apologetics books ever written. On the lighter side -- go for the Chronicles of Narnia -- they are wonderful books that are definitely not just for kids! But don't read the Magician's Nephew first! In case you didn't guess by now, C. S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors and I'd be happy to discuss any of his works anytime.
