Hi Gang, Gee! Sci-fi fans on a techie list? Go figger! ;-) Anyway, for folks who may have missed out on some of the "classic" older sci-fi stories, some lists of award winning sci-fi books to look for: Hugo award winners: http://www.nvo.com/slurry/hugowinners/ Nebula winners: http://dpsinfo.com/awardweb/nebulas/index.shtml#1969 Award winners gotta be decent books, eh? ... and for a change of pace: Nobel winning authors: http://almaz.com/nobel/literature/literature.html Enjoy! RonL. (Who has been known to walk into used bookstores carrying a three paged typed list of things he was looking for!)
