My TOP 5 Sci-Fi Books of All Time (so far) 

Excellent list! 11/22/63 is definitely one of Stephen King's greatest novels, such incredible storytelling. I have heard amazing things about Project Hail Mary, high priority on my tbr.

Try A Scanner Darkly by PKD The Prefect Dreyfus Emergencies and the Revelation Space series by Alistair Reynolds after you finish the Expanse PKD short stories There is also some books that make best lists like Hyperion, Foundation Trilogy, etc Alfred Bester The Demolished Man It depends on what you like. Lighter stuff like Red Shirts if you like star trek. Old man's war And 1 series that was never finished was war with the Chtorr Based on your list, you'd probably like Reynolds books

really liked dark matter and ubik. dark matter super solid thriller that does a really great job of engaging with the "multiple dimensions" thing. I'm always in the minority when it comes to andy wier, ive read all of them i get why people like his books but i just find them a chore haha. it's too predictable sassy smart man guy saves the day, never feels like there's tension, and all his characters are stereotypes. rocky is undoubtedly great but man, i wish wier cared more about the science parts of his books. if you want more recs i have a video on my channel going over science fiction books, but addressing some of the sexism that i feel pervades my absolute favorite genre. i have a shitton of recommendations in there particularly for some women authors that people don't talk about which are some of my favs. good video, cheers.

Great list Crizzy! I have Dark Matter and 11/22/63 on my TBR pile! Ubik was mind blowing when I read it first, truely a masterful book, and easily in my top 10 as well, I'd love to find more books like Ubik Leviathan wakes is great, and its not even my faveorite of the 6 expanse books I've read so far! And Project Hail Mary is just wonderful, a great, thrilling, heartwarming sci fi book, easily top 3! As for a recomendation, I really think you would love Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's technically part of a trilogy but I've only read Children of Time so far and it 100% stands strong as a standalone, so no huge commitment.

Adding all of these to my list! I'm diving deeper into sci-fi and loving it. I bought 11/22/63 a month ago and I'm so excited to read it soon.

Looking forward to 11/22/63, but found a great deal at goodwill of a hard cover copy of Hail Mary for $3

I like reading sci-fi with screen adaptations, and then comparing. So that's a great list. I just finished Dark Matter, the show just came out. I highly recommend Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clark. It's being made into a movie and directed by Denis Villenueve (Dune, Arrival). Great book, should be an awesome movie. Also every sci-fi reader should read Hyperion, and that is in the works to be brought to the screen as well. Can't wait for the Project Hail Mary movie. Rocky is going to sell a lot of merch!

Michel Faber's 'Under the Skin', upon which Jonathan Glazer's film is extremely loosely based, is one of the best books I've ever read and I couldn't give it a higher recommendation. It's thrilling but also contemplatively paced.

I think they’re all great. I could see where the hardcore sci fi fans might cry a little because the heavy hitters aren’t there, but they are easy, fun, and engaging books that I think anyone would like.

SOme interesting choices. Not read a lot of sci fi. Just finished Dune recently. Best wishes.
