Note: Still unfinished, always in progress.
A Few Good Books.
Isaac Asimov - This guy wrote over 500 books on various subjects but is best known for his science fiction. My favorite SF writer.
I, Robot. The first book in his Positronic Robot series. Man creates robot, robot controls man.
Robot Dreams. A collection of futuristic short stories. Mostly about robots.
Foundation. The first book in a trilogy about the downfall of a galactic empire and the beginning of a new one.
Foundation and Empire. A captivating sequel to Foundation, in which all that the Foundation has worked for so far is in danger of being destroyed by an unpredictable force in the galaxy.
Second Foundation. An interesting follow up to the second book Foundation and Empire. The second foundation is in danger from first the Mule (see Foundation and Empire), and then from the foundation itself.
Ray Bradbury - Great Sci-Fi writer. He writes wonderful, strange short stories, but is also well known for his novels The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451.
The Martian Chronicles. The history of the human settling of mars, and the sad downfall of the Martian race.
The October Country. A collection of weird short stories. Some of Bradbury's best gothic tales. Some are futuristic, some aren't.
Fahrenheit 451. In Earth's future, all books are banned and people called 'firemen' enforce the laws against them. 451 degrees is the temperature that paper catches fire.
The Golden Apples of the Sun. A truly great collection of short stories by Ray Bradbury, including his famous "The Flying Machine" and "A Sound of Thunder".
J.R.R. Tolkein - One of the greatest fantasy writers ever to live.
The Hobbit. You must read this book before you die.
The Lord of the Rings. Three books. The war of the ring and the end of the third age.
Farmer Giles of Ham. A humorous medieval story about many things. Feudalism, human nature, a history of sorts.
The Tolkein Reader. A collection of Tolkein works including many poems and Farmer Giles of Ham.
Various Authors and Hundreds of Years of Oral Tradition-The Arthurian Legends.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. A strange poem in which a knight challenges the bravery of the Knights of the Round Table by offering to let a knight cut off his head if he may cut the head off the same knight in a year's time. My favorite Arthurian legend.
