Do you have a passion for reading the Brian Greenes and Manjit kumars?
Do you find yourself wandering along the frontiers of science?
Do you have grizzly hair?
If yes,you will love this genre!!

OK... Robot series is the first one that comes to mind. I enjoyed it more because i love puzzles based on reasoning, lateral thinking etc. The series has been a treat for me and then not to mention I, Robot. I might even dare to suggest this place for brushing up ur reasoning skills than bank on RS Agarwal for the CAT :P

It's my fav too. The best sci-fi I've ever read. It was so funny sometimes that it bought tears in my eyes.

I like old mythologies and books that draw from them. Gene Wolfe's Soldier in the Mist and Nicholas Christopher's The Bestiary.

How could i forget about this one!!!
However by the time I reached the last one- So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.. I had completely forgotten what i read in the prepvious three books :P
If im not mistaken So long.. wasnt the last in the series. There are more

[Abhijith]

yeah there are five books in the triology.
The next one is Mostly Harmless.

A new book of the same series written by Eoin Colfer named And Another Thing...

Mostly harmless is the description of Earth in theHitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I just like how it lulls you into a sense of security but there's still the promise of a threat.

Fantasy movie called The Troll Hunter. Kind of a cross between Storm Chasers with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton and another film called The Blair Witch Project.

Speaking of the Hitchhiker's Guide, search for "What is the answer to life, the universe and everything?" on google, and the calculator comes up with the correct answer.

Oh!! He writes science fiction too??

Asimov's short story collection- nothing can beat that when it comes to good/classy science fiction collection.
For math lovers, I recommend Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth. Its a book on Bertrand Russell's escapades with logic. Wonderful read.
