| Benford, Gregory, 1941- |
| Best time-bender story I've read so far, although I hear Stephen Baxter's "Manifold: Time" is also excellent. |

| Starship troopers. |
| Heinlein, Robert A. 1907-1988 |
| Though the movie has its merits for what it is, the book is a far more serious take on war. One of Heinlein's best. "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" and "Stranger in a Strange Land" are also excellent. |

| Robinson, Kim Stanley. |
| Robinson gets my vote for best, most literary sf author writing today. His climate change trilogy has characters of extraordinary depth, an astonishly detailed and believable depiction of science as it plays out in Washington, and (a bonus for ex-Californias) some of the most loving descriptions of the California coasts and Sierra-Nevada back-country you're likely to find anywhere. There is a good audio interview of Robinson on the Planetary Society website at www.planetary.org (in the Planetary Radio section). |

| Cosmos |
| Sagan, Carl, 1934-1996 |
| Still one of the best introductions to science around. (How can you have Cosmos without the music from the series, though???) |

| The sirens of Titan. |
| Vonnegut, Kurt |
| Like "Hitchhiker's Guide"? Vonnegut does it even better. Try "Hocus Pocus" and other Vonngegut, too! |
| Adult Fiction VONNEGUT |
