Sci-fi starters

[Reg]

Anyone interested in starting a sci-fi series together? Eyeing Dune or Ender's Game but open to suggestions :-)

Dune

[Zim]

Gusto kong simulan yung hitchhikers di ba limang books yun. :)

[Reg]

Think so. I'm game. Lets wait for more comments:-)

[Zim]

Okay. Pero mukang maganda din yung Dune!

[Chrissie]

Hello! Pasingit!

Mas type ko Hitchhiker's na lang hehe (bilang less nakakadugo basahin yon) I have Dune but still intimidated to start, parang Hyperion ang dating. Tas Ender's Game ay ahm parang nakakatamad basahin yung second book :)

[Zim]

Yey Chrissie! :)))

[Reg]

So HHGG in first Dune second so far

[Zim]

YUP! :D

[Reg]

Course. Woohoo two for Dune nice.

[Cherry]

Foundation by Asimov. :)

[Reg]

Also possible. I'm actually watch a docu about him, part of NG's "prophets of science fiction" series.

Interesting.

I will lurk with you if you decide to read hitchhiker's. Read and reread the trilogy (that has 5 books). It would be fun to relive its humor.
I're read ender's game so I might catch up with you if you decide to read ender's shadow. Rollie read the whole series and said that ender's shadow was better than ender's game. He has read the whole series so there.
I am also afraid to start dune because it might ruin my reading plan because they are quite long.

This is not really hard sci-fi (includes a bit of fantasy) but Brian Vaughan’s Saga (graphic novel) is also pretty good. :) I’ve read the first book of HHGG & Ender’s game before, might join you guys for the next books & possibly Dune.

[Reg]

Looks like enough people to start something!

First thru third choices please, mine are:

1. Ender's game
2. Dune
3. HHGG

[Rollie]

Lol! Ranee! Yes, I find Shadow better than Game because I read first the Shadow, albeit, majority who read both books find the Game better. Weighing up both series, I prefer Shadow Series to be better, though, it'd still depend on reader's taste. I love Speaker For The Dead. Those who admire Ender should go forward on reading it.

I love Dune and it's still one of the best books I've read so far. I already read also HHGG. :)

[Reg]

Uhh...so which are you suggesting haha

[Rollie]

Both! :)

[Reg]

I've Dune and Ender's on kobo haha

Anyone near gbelt/g4?

[Marvin]

Malapit lang ako sa g4. Why?

[Reg]

@Zim just thought of connecting.

I'm about halfway through Ender's. Learned: avoid watching the movie before reading. My imagination isn't pushed as hard; the movie images keep coming back.
