Sci-fi

[charlie clown]

I always have a good read through of the Gaurdian's book reviews section from their Saturday edition. It sometimes takes me a week or three to get round to reading em but I do get there eventually. Anyways, the one I went through last night, from a fortnight back, had a sci-fi readers list of their own favourite sci-fi books. Thought it made for interesting reading. I'd read a couple of em and heard of about another 3 or 4 but most of em were completely new to me,. Sci-fi's not a genre that I normally go for but there were some interesting sounding books.
