Reading Burnout?

[LavronYor]

My favorite method for picking books, at least for Sci Fi, is to see which books won both the Hugo and Nebula awards, for any given year. One is the readers choice, and the other is the authors choice for best book of the year.

Like Seb, Dan Abnett is my current favorite with both the Eisenhorn trilogy and Gaunt\'s Ghosts, not to mention the Horus Heresy books.

Dune, Foundation, Starship Troopers, Ender\'s Game and several others have won both. I think Ringworld and the Forever War did as well.

Only 29 plot lines, that doesn\'t surprise me. I have also heard that there are only 500 important people in the world, the rest are sheep.

I\'m a sheep too.

After the tsunami killed thousands of people, the only one I heard listed by name was the Sports Illustrated model who broke her hip, and lost her sheep
( her boyfriend was not famous )

I didn\'t like the Ender\'s Game series. I liked Ender\'s Shadow and all other books in that series because they don\'t shift main characters and bore the crap out of ya. lol

Read the first one.
Intriguing(and maybe a movie in the next 2 years).

Does anyone can give some title of an epic scifi xlogy like the Foundation cycle?
One with galaxies, strange theories...

Good sci fi I have enjoyed lately have been any of the books by Alastair Reynolds.

I also enjoyed the first series of World war books by Harry Turtledove but the second series sucked.

I also enjoyed The Praxis and its follow ups by Walter John williams as a quick read.

Damn a book only has to have a spaceship on the cover and I will read it.
