So I finished Infinite Jest about a year ago, and have been hunting for that sort of non-linearity while staying difficult, but still manageable. I liked Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 and Eggers's You Shall Know Our Velocity!, so if that gives anyone an idea of something I would like, I'd be grateful! edit: by staying manageable I probably mean no Joyce Ikrizzle fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Jun 11, 2009 |

JayJay posted:Can anyone recommend a good science fiction space pew pew lazers "epic" series. Aka spanning multiple books with the same characters. I do not like when books end. I can't guarantee that it's space pew pew lazers enough for you, but I'd strongly have to say start out with Ender's Game if you haven't read it. It's really great on its own, has three sequel novels out, a parallel (less sci-fi) storyline, lots of short stories supporting it, etc etc. In short:  It won't quit on you too quickly. Warning: After Ender's Game they get less and less pew pew lazers and iirc, more philosopho-sci-fi. Still awesome imo.

What would be the science fiction equivalent to the Wheel of Time?
