Sci-fi book recs, anyone?
When my current crisis is over (which will hopefully be before the next one looms over the horizon), I intend to binge on science fiction books for a while.
I have some corkers on my shelves - Stephen Baxter's two wonderful books about manned spaceflight, Voyage and Titan; all the Alastair Reynolds books; a lot of Ursula Le Guin - they are fabulous, but the trouble is I've read them. Too much. They need to lie fallow for a while. I feel like that about all my favourite SF books.
However, I would still like to read something as good as they are. Can anyone recommend me a title or two? I'll take fantasy if you have a really first-class rec, but I hanker after robots, Big Space Rockets and planets at the moment...
