Sci-Fi Required Reading List
Well, OK, it's not strictly required, but you should definitely read this stuff.
- Bimbos of the Death Sun
Despite the title, this book is not about bimbos, or death suns. It does have death. People get confused when I try to tell them about the guy in the book who writes a book with the same title as the book, so I'll just leave it with saying that it's a good, non-lewd book.
- Flight of the Dragonfly, RPA Rocheworld
I(Logan), personally, have serious trouble trying to force myself to read this book, so I need several other club members to read it for me. Why is this? Because I spent an entire weekend working out the math to describe and prove possible the major point of this book, thinking that after months of searching I had finally come up with an original idea- only to discover that this book already exists! Robert Forward telepathically stole my idea from the future, I say!
By The Way, the math in question will be the subject of a meeting at some point.
