Now that's the best description of it that I've ever heard. It really is rather like that... noted down for future use (if you don't mind ;D)
:D By my guest!
kim:
i don't think a sci-fi collection can be complete without brian aldiss, john brunner and michael moorcock. they opened up a lot of the mainstream space between, for instance, heinlein and stephenson.
about that same time, roger zelazny was making the world safe for trilogies of more than 3 volumes.
witch:
Speaking of cyberpunk, whatever happened to William Gibson, loved his books, haven't seen any for yonks for some reason.
SimsHost:
In the case of this thread, where the initial premise was somewhat tenuous, I'd say the threadjacking involves sticking a hydraulic jack under it and raising it to a new level.
I don't think I've ever read anything by Brian Aldiss, John Brunner, or Michael Moorcock. I can say, by that definition, that my science fiction collection is complete because there are books by these guys in my library, and I've even met a couple of them, but I don't recall having ever cracked the covers of their books. Add William Gibson to that list, too.
Amusement: Science fiction bestsellers regularly outsell so-called mainstream bestsellers, but you'd never be able to tell that by reading the New York Times.
veilchen:
I don't ever go by any best-seller list. My interests are wide and varied, that is to say, I try to read just about anything. If I come across a book that doesn't start out well, I keep on reading because I'm hoping it'll get better; if it doesn't get any better, I get angry at myself for wasting my time, oh well...
Usually I go by recommendations, that's why I find this thread interesting.
Oh yeah, I don't read schmalzy, kitschy novels and I don't ever touch romance novels. I shall make a note to send those to Greg to help out with his Valentine's Day dilemma. :D
