but that's all just TV and film sci-fi! Let's have some books!

In no particular order, and considering that fantasy is just sci-fi
without the ray-guns, here are some that I've really enjoyed in the last
year or so ...

Earth Abides, by George Stewart
A Canticle for Leibowitz, by Walter Miller
Dogland, by Will Shetterly
Callahan's Cross-time Saloon, by Spider Robinson
Agent to the Stars, by John Scalzi
Hunter's Moon, by David Devereux
The Magician's Nephew, by C.S.Lewis
Blindsight, by Peter Watts
