Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week I'm doing something a bit different for Sci-Fi Month 2019 (Image credit: Photo by Sebastien Decoret on 123RF.com with a quote from This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone). In the spirit of the month, I'm sharing my top ten Classic Sci-Fi Books I Need To Read. Somehow I've missed out on these so far and one of these days, I need to finally see what the big deal is about all of them once and for all. Here we go, in alphabetical order by title:
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick
Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
Dune by Frank Herbert
The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick
Ringworld by Larry Niven
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
Have you read any of these books? Are you taking part in Sci-Fi Month this year? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
Great list! I just read Doomsday Book and enjoyed it, and I've heard such good things about The Man in the High Castle. I hope you enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have watched some of the series so I'll have to try the source material.
DeleteI haven't read Dune yet either.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
One of these days!
DeleteThis is a fantastic list! I've read a couple, and Do Androids Dream is still one of my favorite PKD books😁
ReplyDeleteI love Blade Runner so I need to try it. :)
DeleteI'd totally forgotten about Doomsday Book. That was a good read.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
Cool. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteI literally just finished reading A Stranger in a Strange Land. I love it. Heinlein is difficult to get into, so I listened to the audiobook. It was the perfect way to injest it and I highly recommend.
ReplyDeleteI have to keep that in mind.
Deletedo androids dream of electric sheep. LOL
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
It's quite a title.
DeleteI loved this topic. I've only heard of Brave New World. Here is my post https://paigesofbook.blogspot.com/2019/11/welcome-back-i-have-missed-doing-top.html.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
DeleteMy son is reading Dune right now. I want to read Brave New World.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days we'll get to them.
DeleteI've only read Dune but I should read Ringworld. Always been kinda interested in that one.
ReplyDeleteI hope the both of us will like it.
DeleteI hope you get to these soon! I haven't read any of them, but that doesn't surprise me. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deanna.
DeleteBrave New World has been on my TBR for ages! Great list. :)
ReplyDeleteSo many of the titles you've mentioned are books that I really want to read too! I've had Brave New World and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep on my list for a long time and I constantly try to get around to them, but keep forgetting, oops.
ReplyDeleteWe'll get there one of these days!
DeleteI’ve read Brave New World! It’s one of the few books that school forced on me that I actually liked.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I'm surprised that was one I did have as assigned reading.
DeleteI enjoyed Brave New World, although the beginning is a bit jarring and a little sink or swim, in my opinion. Hope you enjoy it when you get around to reading it. Dirk Gently is on my TBR, too!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see what happens!
