I too had fun with this last year and am in again.

I will get my Goodreads edited to remove books from my "want to read" list I already own.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/61729436?shelf=read

Edit: I'm a little behind on current SciFi and am just getting into horror. History is a good bet too. Love literature. Do not buy me science related nonfiction please and thank you.

Speaking for myself, I have a few decades of books never logged on Goodreads that I suppose I could spend an hour going over my shelves and get into the database, but were you to get me something I had already read, it is likely so long ago it would be a good prompt to read it again!

Mike Carey is awesome and brought Constantine back to his roots in a really compelling way. He also was good enough to post with us on a fan forum during his run. Now I want to read that book

But I got The left hand of darnkess and the dispossessed by Ursula K. Le guin. Starfire by Charles Sheffield and a Canticle for Leibowitz By walter Miller Jr.
Santa came through! I am so excited. I have heard positive thing about Ursula K. Le Guin the other 2 sound amazing as well. Thanks BillRubin! Merry Christmas everyone. Now just to lurk and hope my Giftee enjoys there's...

:neckbeard:

As someone fairly new to sci fi you needed a few of the classics. The Sheffield is a tragically underappreciated hard sci-fi writer (a former physicist) who can also write characters. :rip:

I have learned that UPS delivered a thing from a place further south than I might have expected. Counting the minutes until I can Fred Flintstone down my dinosaur's back!

edit:



Franchescanado you really outdid yourself! As I had said upthread I was getting into horror and this is an amazing collection of classics and to be classics--none of which I have ever read. In fact, I think I have only read a handful of King--one was the Gunslinger, which is its own thing. Only Gaimen I have read were guest spots he wrote on Hellblazer, which I really liked, so I'm not sure why I've never read one of his books. He's even a friend of a friend so vOv And Clive Barker I have known of since high school (a loooooong time ago), when I was in a gaming group with RPG developer (and D&D artist) Jeff Dee, and in a campaign of the 007 game I ran he picked Clive Barker as his name literally off a shelf behind him. I had a custom drawn character marker by the name for years since but it seems I finally got rid of it.

These are all outstanding and great (collector's card/bookmark included), and the Pez was inspired. Last year my wife got a pez dispenser for me when I admitted to never having had one before. :neckbeard:

Merry Christmas!
