The Ice People
Ringworld
Neuromancer
The Andromeda Strain
Fantastic Voyage
...to name a few.
Stranger in a Strange Land-a fav of mine as well.
Totally forgot about “The Andromeda Strain”. Excellent choice.
Nueromancer was ground breaking. I’m of the opinion one should authors. Peruse books by a writer and pick one that strikes your fancy.
In this group, in no particular order;
Asimov
Powers
Zelazny
Orson Scott Card
Wells
Verne
Gibson
Crichton
and since it is sci fi and fantasy Tolkien.
I have several hundred in my collection and due to space contraints i can safely say i’ve owned well over a thousand over time.
