You're a science fiction reader two!! I knew I liked something about you. For me, science fiction is like candy. I can't exist on a steady diet of it, but I read selected works. Normally I stick to novel that either won the Hugo or Nebula, or were nominated. Truly, I count all the ones nominated in a year as equal.
Charles Stross is my latest find. He has the ability to imagine futures that are so unique...and scary. Glasshouse (Hugo winner 2007) is about as interesting a sci-fi book as I've read this decade. Truly great. I'm putting Spin on my list.

Science fiction can be like candy, that is true. Certain authors like Crichton and Koontz come to mind. Though I enjoy Koontz quite a bit.
Ultimately, I'm very picky. But the good stuff is really really good. It's literature, really, within a genre that allows it to find market more easily.
You should consider a subscription to Fantasy and Science Fiction too. It's super cool.

Oh Marcus, who but you, at your age, would use the term "super cool" - now if you were in the over 50 generation, that would be a part of your everday..... oh, no - that means it's retro - and my normal life in the 60s and 70s has suddenly come back to bite me....
Sorry - couldn't resist. Do like Crichton and Koontz - my daughter thinks I'm "sick" for liking Koontz especially after we listened to a book on tape while driving cross country.
I'm looking for new books to take on this two week work jaunt, so I'll keep Spin in mind. We just finished Ted Dekker's "Black" - so "Red" is a next must read too.
