Every now and then I try and become more well-versed in scifi. 'My' genre is definitely scifi, but I am constantly aware of how pitifully few of the classics I have read, and how poorly versed I am in the genre. (Sure I can help a newbie get started, but I haven't read anything by many of the 'big great' authors: Dick, Asimov, Clark, etc) So from time to time I 'work' on broadening the breadth of my scifi literacy. This is definitely in part a rebound from the Card kick!
Really enjoyed the Foundation books. Just ordered some more from the library. Only for real scifi lovers though. (But scifi fans will love it!)
Through a Scanner Darkly was weird and trippy and reminded me of A Clockwork Orange a little. Has scifi undertones but could probably be mainstream enough for a general fiction reader. I didn't realize that I'd ordered the graphic novel version. I wonder if the non-graphic novel version is different/better/worse? Not sure I'd have the patience for it though.
