Yeah I've been having a sci fi month, but it's hard finding good novels. A lot of them have good ideas but fairly bad authors. I think I'll head over to /r/books and start a similar thread like this.

I recently finished The Martian Chronicles, sweet jesus that is good writing. I couldn't finish Foundation, because it bored me, but I'll give it another shot soon.

Edit: Rendezvous With Rama was pretty good too!
