Okay, I'm a Dane, going to London tomorrow.. I always visit Waterstone
So, I was wondering, if anyone could help with some recommendations.
Sci-Fi I have bought on previous trips, and really liked:
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
Hyperion Cantos - Dan Simmons
The Stars My Destination
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August - Claire North
The Martian - Andy Weir
Gateway - Frederik Pohl
The Ender Quartet - Orson Scott Card
I've tried to put them in the order I liked them the most, but I loved all of them.
On my to buy list, I only currently have some Isaac Asimov books / collections, that I would like to try out.
Earth is Room Enough
Nine Tomorrows
Nightfall and other Stories
I, Robot.
So, what Sci-Fi books, is a must get? Or anything that are in the style of the above books, that you can recommend?
On my last trip I also bought:
The Lies of Locke Lamora - Scott Lynch, and I loved it. Had to order the next two books as soon as I got back home.. I love a good con artist story.
I think the reason I ended up with that book, was because of recently reading the Rogues Anthology by George R. R Martin, which had a lot of good short stories..
So, besides the Sci-Fi recommendations, I'm also asking for tips about books with thiefs / rogues / con artist, prefferably in a sci-fi / fantasy theme.
Ohh and I love the idea of the subreddit "Humanity, Fuck Yeah!", where I've alteast been following the story "Humans don't make Good Pets"..
If anyone actually read my rabble and have got some ideas, please share.. I'm gonna go spend an entire day in Waterstone looking for books anyway.
Thanks in advance
