I love all of Jack Chalker's Well of Souls books. Also the Shanara series by Brooks.

I made a decision to read every book on the list.

I received 5 books for christmas.

Just finished I am Legend.

That was a good story

I'm now into the third book of the Otherland series (4 books). After a slow start I'm really enjoying it - Williams ( http://www.tadwilliams.com ) has a really good grasp on internet (sub)culture(s) and has extrapolated them convincingly into the future.

If anyone hasn't read his stuff but wants a free taster, there's a few chapters of text free at http://www.shadowmarch.com - also a good read. I might Subscribe soon...

Question for Puke or anyone else.

Unification of Germany.
Have you read any books on the subject ???

If so what were the titles or authors names

[tesco samoa]

Sorry.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I'm sort of surprised that no one has mentioned any books by Robert Heinlein. I think two of his books (at least) are must reads: 'Starship Troopers' (forget what you saw in the movie) and 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' (strange title for one of the best books ever written!)

Other sci-fi books I could recommend (not mentioned already) are W. Michael Gear's Spider trilogy, Larry Niven's Known Space books which include the Ringworld novels, and Poul Anderson's Polesotechnic League and Dominic Flandery books. The later have a definate SEIV feel to them.

I have read a few Heinlein books. A Stranger in a Strange land was good.
