HMMMM I'm guessing you aren't going to want any of the GIANT BOOKS OF DOOM massive sci-fi novels I love so much.

I know you've tried Anne McCaffrey in the past and didn't get into her, but have you tried her Acorna novels? They are far newer and more actual science fiction. Plus, unicorn-like aliens. XD

If you got into AM, that would take up like 30 of your books, easy. *grins*

No no tell me the giant books of doom!!

I don't think I've ever tried any Anne McCaffrey? WHat makes you think I have?

OOOKIES. Some of my favorite series are the Dune ones, by Frank Herbert, and then his son with another guy. They are big and thick and complicated, but I really like them. A lot of people don't, so I'd say read 'Dune' and if you like it, read Messiah and Children, then DON'T read the other three by FH. Read the ones by the son. They are easier to understand, and there is more action. XD

Okay that's definitely a good list XD BUT I must ask, are any of them time travel because I *HATE* time travel, most authors/writers utterly FAIL at doing time travel without creating massive plot holes that piss me off XD

UMMMM. There is some in the Dragonriders books, but it is all in a situation where it has already happened so it is going to happen? The time travel in Acorna works, and is only in the latter...three books, so if you don't read those, you'll be fine. I don't think there is time travel in any of the others. XD

You had me at "unicorn" and "alien". I've read some of the Dragonriders series but never Acorna.
