The classics section of the list contains some books that are more "general" with their ideas and yes as you say, cross over with the big classics' canon. In newer sci-fi section it can get a bit more specific and scientific, which can be hard to enjoy if you don't click with this kind of stuff. I sometimes find it hard to enjoy the books that are too much crammed with facts, for example, but then again books written by poets like Bradbury are something completely different.

I read <i>I, Robot</i> in college and remember enjoying it. And Fahrenheit 451 is one of my all-time favorite books -- have been meaning to re-read it for The Classics Club, actually. The two Jules Verne books I also want to read for Classics Club (nice when there is some cross-over!) If I ever want to get more into sci-fi, I will have to consult your list, seems quite comprehensive :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833552366782548505.post-6333368437717132492013-11-25T14:17:03.267+02:002013-11-25T14:17:03.267+02:00I was very impressed with We when I read it a few ...I was very impressed with We when I read it a few years ago.

I think I do have a few priority reads - The Quantum Thief, because Hannu Rajaniemi is originally Finnish and I live in Finland; re-read Roadside Picnic because I'm craving for good Russian sci-fi, and Ready Player One, which has received a lot of praise and I just want to see what it's all about.
