Reading Suggestions

I was recently listing some reading suggestions to friends, and thought since I’d made the effort, I should list them in my blog. So, here they are:

• “Lord of Light” by Roger Zelazny (less than 300 pages)

  A sci-fi, set on another planet, where those who control tech
  are immortal – and rule planet as gods of Hindu pantheon

• “The Anubis Gates” by Tim Powers

  Set primarily in London’s 1810, with a bumbling hero from the
  20th century… fantasy/horror with a strong Dickensian feel

• “A Fire Upon The Deep” by Vernor Vinge
  “A Deepness in the Sky” by Vernor Vinge

  Hard(ish) sci-fi, but with aliens that are really alien for a change

• “Altered Carbon” by Richard K Morgan

  Detective story in genre of extremely violent cyberpunk sci-fi

If you like/don’t mind space-opera, and can handle reading a series that’s 7 books long, you might want to check out the “Saga of Seven Suns” series by Kevin J Anderson (the first book is “Hidden Empire”)

…and then there’s always Harry Potter
