I love sci-fi (not the crap like starwars and halo/starcraft stuff...that shouldn't be anywhere near the sci-fi scection) but have never read one of its best known series. It is pretty decent...not amazing, but a fun read.

I'm a big fan of the Niven/Pournelle books like "Lucifer's Hammer", "Mote in God's eye" and "Footfall" I must have read those books at least six times each. Have you read any of them?
I was reading the latest Dean Koontz novel "The Taking" but it started to get way too weird for my liking right now so I've put it aside for a bit. Probably going to start the latest Douglas Preston novel "The Codex" for some light relief! I quite like the Preston/Child books so will give this one a go.

I haven't read any of those! They are worth checking out? I am almost done the Foundation series, so I am on the lookout for more good sci-fi! (Fantasy is alright too)[/b][/quote]
You have GOT to read Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle books then. 'Lucifer's Hammer' is about a comet hitting the earth. Really good 'end of the world' story. 'Mote in God's Eye' is a First Contact future story while 'Footfall' is a First Contact present day invasion of Earth story. All really good books. All well worth a read.
