Danestress Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 What else do you like? My son has inhaled RB's short stories and wants to know what else he can read. He isn't necessarily a science fiction fan, he just likes RB, particularly the short stories. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onceuponatime Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov have wonderful books of short stories. My favorite Asimov is the Foundation trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 My son recommends Garth Nix, and to start with the Abhorsen series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) I assume he's already read Fahrenheit 451? Something Wicked This Way Comes is another of his novels that's good. The Martian Chronicles was good but rather disturbing. I also like Neil Gaiman, especially The Graveyard Book.

LostSurprise Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Asimov's short stories are similar in style. I, Robot is the easiest to find, but I like his The Black Widowers mystery series and other collections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
