The IDEAL Forum

Lets start with a book from last year, The Martian. As a sci-fi nerd, all I can say is "What a book!". 1 chapter left to read but I have no rush. I'm living the moment (:

This one is on my list but I have started the Foundation Sci-Fi series atm.

A good Sci-Fi book I read recently is 'The Stars my Destination'

Ha. I didn't think anyone in here are avid sci-fi book worms.

I got quite a few to recommend if you guys are into this stuff:
1. One of my favourites:


2. The foundation series is awesome

2.1 Prelude to Foundation
2.2 Forward the Foundation
2.3 Foundation
2.4 Foundation and Empire
2.5 Second Foundation
2.6 Foundation's Edge
2.7 Foundation and Earth

3. You're not a true sci-fi fan without reading DUNE (at least the Frank Herbert books)

3.1 Dune (1965)
3.2 Dune Messiah (1969)
3.3 Children of Dune (1976)
3.4 God Emperor of Dune (1981)
3.5 Heretics of Dune (1984)
3.6 Chapterhouse: Dune (1985)

4. In the last couple of weeks I've been reading the OLD MAN's WAR series from John Scalzi - quite an unique universe

You'll find all the books of the series here: https://www.goodreads.com/series/40789-old-man-s-war

Oh and this one's also nice:

Thanks ThunderLeopard. I added The Stars my Destination to my list, I will read it after finishing "All The Light We Cannot See".
BoogieM, about "The Foundation" series, I need to clear my list before jumping onto them (:

Also if you like military sci-fi read 'The Forever War' its really good.

Old Mans War was awesome.

Best Military Sci Fi I read so far was Enders Game though. But If you saw the movie allready it might be not as good.

Anyway 1984 anyone?

I've read it twice... it's too depressing...
But you should read "Circle"...

I like the German author Frank Schärting and his best seller "The Swarm" pretty much...

guis, stop reading and start living

Same here, but it still works fine, so I don't see a reason to buy a new one.

Btw did anyone read the Maze Runner series?
Thought about reading that one after I finished LOTR again (2nd time only).


Also liked this one

But it seems it wasnt translated into English

This is truly one of the best books I've ever read!

if you like jussi and his series and will also like Sebastian Fitzek´s work tho both are kinda authors for women in the 30+ age

U think so? Well I don't agree with you, this may be true about Fitzek's books (don't know, didn't read any of them) but imho "Aphabet House" isn't really the book for women 30+

dont get me wrong, as long as its not a specialist book its kinda made for women since real men only watch movies

Thx guys, now you made me want to read books. Got especially interested in "The Martian" and "Alphabet House". Might have to find finnish versions of those somewhere :3

Better read the English ones, at least when those are the original ones.
