Happy Tuesday and welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! This week's topic is Books I Want My Children (Or Nieces, Nephews, Godchildren, etc.) - since it's Sci-Fi Month, hosted by Rinn Reads & Over the Effing Rainbow, I'm giving my list a sci-fi spin. I'm sharing Sci-Fi Books I Want My Future Descendants To Read, both recent releases and classics. Here we go, in alphabetical order by title and broken down by recent releases and classics (the titles are linked either to my review or to Goodreads):
Recent Releases:
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
Saga by Brian K. Vaughan &Fiona Staples
Classics:
Frankenstein by Marry Shelley
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Kindred by Octavia E. Butler
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
What books do you want your descendants to read? As always thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
Yes to The Martian and Ready Player One - those are both fantastic. :) I'd also add The Giver to the list as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI was so close to adding The Giver to my list.
DeleteSaga is such a great choice...when they're older! :-)
ReplyDeleteFor sure!
DeleteGreat choices! Can't believe I forgot about The Martian - would love my hypothetical future kids to read that. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elena! They'd know you have good taste!
DeleteOh I love that you have Frankenstein and The Handmaid's Tale on here. I really hope that I'll manage to get my kids to read classics and love them as much as I did.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed! Thanks for coming over, Nuria!
DeleteThe Handmaid's Tale and Frankstein are both great novels!

ReplyDeletestill need to read Ready Player One, though!
Ready Player One is awesome and I'm dying to see what they make of the movie!

ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks, Aj!
DeleteFrankenstein is a definite must. I love that book and would be stoked to share it with a future kid. The Girl From Everywhere would also be fantastic. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI know right!

ReplyDeleteYou said it!
DeleteGreat list! Haven't read all the ones on this list yet, but I have quite a few of them already :) really looking forward to reading Snow Crash and Kindred.
