[!@#$%!]

the dune saga is quite quite enthralling. there are something like 9 books and a lot of them are kind of crappy but it's hard to put down. i read it while stationed in some remote tropical location.

i also like the asimov gaia books, the ones about predicting history through math, what was it? oh-- foundation. perhaps a bit too pompous by today's standards but highly entertaining when i read it years ago.

now robinstigator is going to come & recommend greg bear, i haven't read him but he swears by him.

oh i also like jack vance. very fucking great short stories. not sure if it's easy to find i think he's kind of obscure.

french science fiction is kind of peculiar too, i don't have names, i've read short stories that were mind blowing but i've lost track... it's been years...
