What should I read next? Science fiction or non-fiction?

[Paradoxical]

I'm either going to dive back into the Foundation series by Asimov or read Democracy Matters by Cornel West.

What say you guys?

[Iggo]

1. Read 'em both.

I read two books at once by having one as my "home" book and one as my "road" book (I use public transportation and I also read during my breaks at work).

But if you're only going to read one, I recommend West (without having read it myself). Otherwise you won't get to it for quite awhile. Foundation is a mother.

2. That is very true. Foundation is quite a tall order.

I might read Democracy Matters first.

I can't really read both because I'm already reading several other books for classes.

3. I'm all about the non-fiction.

4. What was the last book you read?

I tend to alternate fiction (with my tastes, usually SF or fantasy) and non-fiction.

5. 2001: A Space Odyssey.

6. That's awesome-

I literally just started reading the Foundation series again- it's probably been ten years- about two days ago :)

Loving it again.

I vote Scifi!

7. Try "The Difference Engine"

8. I loved Foundation ,Asimov was a great writer.

but if you want some butt kicking Sci Fi try The Man in The High Castle by PK Dick ,or anything by PK Dick.

Have you read the Dune series by Frank Herbert?


I love sci fi

9. "A Game of Thrones"

10. Both

Illum and Olympus by Dan Simmons practically covers Sci-fi AND fantasy. Currently I'm also addicted to The Dark Tower series by Stephan King (I keep want to reread parts of it)and for non-fiction--I'm reading Battle Hymm of the Tiger Mother, a story about a Chinese American woman raising her kids. She's kind of evil, but they turned out ok.

12. I vote for "Time Out Of Joint"

My favorite PKD book.

13. science fiction. Read something by Jack Vance.

Eyes of the Overworld or something. It will blow your mind.
