Science Fiction and Fantasy Reading List
zridling:
Bob Sutor updated his science fiction and fantasy reading list recently and I'm wondering which of these other DC members have enjoyed. As more websites and blogs die, I have more time for reading.

From that list, I'm reading The Windup Girl now. It's pretty good.
A Canticle for Leibowitz is one of my all time favorite books. There's also a sequel, but he doesn't appear to have read that.
Recently I read the series "The Entire and the Rose" which I really enjoyed. Martha Atwood's "Oryx & Crake" and "Year of the Flood" is a pair of dystopian books that might be my favorite story right now. For relatively hard Sci-Fi, Sean Williams' Astropolis series is incredible in scope.

@allen:
Sean Williams' Astropolis might be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!
housetier:
I strongly recommend Neal Stephenson's "Anathem".

George R. R. Martin has now sold more than fifteen million books worldwide, and his readership will likely multiply exponentially after the launch, this month, of “Game of Thrones,” a lavish HBO series based on “A Song of Ice and Fire.” He is committed to nurturing his audience, no matter how vast it gets. “It behooves a writer to be good to his fans,” he says. Still, a close relationship with one’s audience has its drawbacks. As Martin puts it, “The more readers you have, the harder it is to keep up, and then you can’t get any writing done.”
