old school sci-fi i got today
 

wtf is that??? looking it up.... is that just the fucking cover?? :helpme :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I haven't read it yet. But I have heard it is good.
You got any sci-fi suggestions, I am open to them.

Niven is always a good read. Ringworld is a classic.

I also really liked The Integral Trees and The Smoke Ring, there's The Mote In God's Eye and sequels, plus Lucifer's Hammer, Footfall, The Legacy of Heorot etc. etc.

The list of great Niven collaborations & solo books is too long to type out here. :2 cents:

That cover looks dope :)

A recent unexpectedly good read in sci-fi was Nightside City by Lawrence Watt-Evans. I was going through everything he wrote but it's mostly other genres so I thought the one-off sci-fi book will suck. I was wrong, it delivered a fast-paced, grippiing noir detective story in the future. My only con to it is that it has no sequels, I like that character enough for a 10+ book series.

"Give sci-fi suggestions" is a bit broad. What did you already read and like in the genre? Did you already go through the essentials: Bradbury, Asimov, Wells, Brin, Herbert? What tropes/themes do you like/dislike to read about?

how much at auction?

Thanks, will give it a look. Just started on Niven, So will be busy for a while.
