as a rule of thumb, if there is a scantly clad lady looking mischievous or tough, or a muscular guy in a desert holding a sword, or some half naked people on horseback, i try and stay away from them because i have a feeling i wont like it. (sorry Terry Brooks, a lot of people recommend you but i cant get past all the horrible tropes that plague the genre!)
i know im probably missing out on some things though.



HHGttG already read, i will have to read up on the other two, but ive heard of Asimov (although idk if i would like him), and Dune is pretty famous too.



already read 3/4 there, but i'll see about solaris, sounds interesting.

Rofl! I don't really like how Terry brooks writes :/ Tried to read Shannaras descendants (or somesuch ~~ dno english title) but meh, fell away directly...only good good paragraph was the synopsis on the back of the book >_<

That looks really cool, I think I'm gonna look into it
I'm also looking around for some good sci-fi books, which I've never really been into.

Right now I'm reading the Illustrated Man, a collection of short stories by Ray Bradbury. You should check it out if you haven't yet.

You said not to judge a book by it's cover, it's actually true in this case (not relevant to topic but thought I'd have to post ><)

The Swordbearer - Glen Cook
The first pic is what I had when I first saw the book, was like "Ooh snap! looks really nice!"
Second picture is what I found when I went on Goodreads to check some more info about it.

And man this book is not worth reading (so far)>< Second picture fits way more acurately
