Something to think about besides the travesty taking place in DC. Thanks.

Never heard of this one, but if you click on my name I discuss science fiction “classics you should read”.

Well that book does not sound so hot as SciFi goes
If you want to read the last great American writer, look no further than Gene Wolf’s “Book of the New Sun”, “Litany of the Long Sun”, “The Book of the Short Sun”, and “The Urth of the New Sun”
Hard Scifi would be the Xeelee series by Stephen Baxter.

Might not be it, but sounds like “Apocalypse Troll” by David Weber. If it isn’t you should check it out.

Is the catalogue of the library online? Try searching ‘sci-fi’ and limit the search to books. Many libraries now even have pictures of the cover which should help, I imagine. Good luck, I know it’s frustrating to not be able to recall something like that.

Truly all of Gene Wolfe is great, if challenging to the point of befuddlement. Eventually I have to re-read ‘A Borrowed Man’ so I can then read the new posthumously released ‘Interlibrary Loan’.

Just about anything by Weber is worth reading.
Also a huge fan of John Ringo. I’d read a grocery list that he wrote, because someone would die by the end of it.

Bump for Thomas Covenant. Hard to make it all the way through the series though. There are some really depressing sections of it.

The 1st 3 books are all anyone needs to read.

Thanks for the link!!!!
I remember reading some sci fi novels when I was in jr/sr high that I really enjoyed and have not ever been able to recall the titles, only the plot.
I’ve always wanted to try to track them down and this at least, gives me a starting point.
