What great picks! So glad to have you onboard for Rocket 🚀 Summer!

Can't wait!

Great picks, Greg! Terrific video. And you made me laugh with the upside down books, which I needed today. The only James Blish that I’ve read are the first novelizations he did of the earliest Star Trek episodes in 1967, 1968, or thereabouts. Good stuff. Thanks, Greg!😊

Great choices, even the ones that didn’t make the cut!

@anotherbibliophilereads 3 месяца назад

I will definitely read some sci-fi in honor of this event. I will be continuing my Ray Bradbury journey and will read a few titles from my kindle.

Thanks Debs.

Oh sci fi. I'm liking this but def am a contemporary girlie. Pirates of Veus cover is fun.

I remember the movie made from Collosus. I was very good but very dated.

Great idea! I will read the first science fiction book that was ever written, Cyrano de Bergerac's voyage to the moon, written in the 17th century. I have been meaning to read this book for a long time. And then I will read the Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle.

@anotherbibliophilereads 3 месяца назад

The original novel of Planet of the Apes is pretty good if you look the other way at the science in the book.

@BrentDavis75 3 месяца назад

I do urge you to read Lord of Light at some point. I truly think it's Zelazny firing on all cylinders. I enjoyed The Demolished Man. Have you read The Stars My Destination?

@anotherbibliophilereads 3 месяца назад

Lord of Light is currently free on Audible for members , so I picked that up. I have not read any Bester novel.

@BrentDavis75 3 месяца назад

@@anotherbibliophilereads The Stars My Destination is also one I'd recommend. Happy reading!
