'Ready Player One' which I recommend so often I'm surprised I don't have stock in it.


Anybody else read the Niven / Barnes Dream Park books? The Barsoom Project has as a plot point about using a Disneyesque Park as an impressive psychological tool to reform eating habits. One of my favorite series and I just found out there is a fourth one in the series that as soon as I finish Sacre Blue by Christoper Moore I'm going to start.

Anything by Christopher Moore, though that's not really sci-fi and just barely fantasy. However Lamb is one of my most favorite books of all time.

What do you guys suggest I read?

    I love Ready Player One, excellent book.

    Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett was excellent. They balance each other really well.
    I've recently started reading Pratchett's Discworld series, just finished Mort and am waiting for my wife to finish Sourcery so I can get to that.


    I'll have to put my name down for Sacre Bleu at the library.

    If you haven't already, the first Hunger Games book is really good. The other two kind of peter off.

    If you like mysteries, can't go wrong with Lawrence Block.

    IF you haven't read Perdido Street Station/The Scar yet those are good.

    The Magicians and the Magician King are PROBABLY good - I"m still deciding if I liked them or not.
