Completely new to scifi and this thread, but I havent seen GRRM mentioned (so I have no idea if hes considered bad here) but Im in love with his short stories. Used to think that scifi was boring (too cold, metal-like, foreign) but holy crap, the world he makes is awesome. And I'm running out of stories to read from him. I started off with dreamsongs 1 and 2 and got familar with the various planets and races mentioned through out then moved on to some other novellas and books. Very cool critters in Tuf Voyaging and the whole history on how he came across the ship. Random religions and cultures like the steel angels. I just love the fact that theres such an in depth world that I got to know over the course of several shorter pieces.. are there any other things like this? I'm trying to read some anthologies right now (songs of the dying earth) and the writing style is very noticeably different that its just not as fun either. Anything else like this? I dont necessarily want a series...where you follow a set of characters around for a while..but a collection of smaller stories set in the same universe?
