You’ll soon open
your front door to what feel’s like a gust of dragon’s breath.
But they’re actually rays from space. No, not a U.F.O.’s rays but
our own sun’s. It’s that time of year again when a lot of us want
to hit the pools, beaches or AC’d movie theatres. But sometimes you
may want something to read in between those laps or rounds of surfing
the waves as you lie back to dry off from that chlorinated or
naturally salted water. Or when you’re in town with two hours to
kill before the showing of that sci fi blockbuster. So during
in-between times like these, why not utilise the wait by reading a
best-selling or should-be best-selling sci fi book? But
you maybe feel like you’ve read everything you wanted to. Well, if
you’re wondering what to read this summer in science fiction, maybe
the list below of what I plan to read will help get you started. And
if you can add to it, please do in the comments box below. The more
suggestions the better variety and choices we’ll all have!
My Sci Fi Summer Reading List
Annihilation,
Jeff Vandermeer: A chilling story about a female group of scientists
who explore a secluded region of the continent where several
expeditionists before them mysteriously died. This is the first book
of the Southern Reach Trilogy.
The Tarzan Series,
Edgar Rice Burroughs: I have an incomplete collection of the books.
I’ve read the first and second ones, Tarzan of the Apes and
The Return of Tarzan, but I don’t have the third which is
The Beasts of Tarzan. The one that I have next in the series
is the 7th, Tarzan the Untamed.
I normally like to collect the older editions, especially from
the 70s because of cover art by great artists such as Neal Adams and
Boris Vallejo. But if I can’t find a copy with their or some other
great artist’s work, I’m okay with skipping over to Book 7 and
going back later.
Jurassaic Park,
Michael Crichton: With the latest sequel coming out this month, it’s
time that I read this book that started the whole movie franchise. I
may even do a Book-To-Movie review of it, but to do that I’ll have
to refresh myself on the first movie which I haven’t seen since it
released back in the ‘90s!
The Three-Body
Problem, Cixin Liu: I haven’t read a good “old” new alien
invasion story in a long time. This one was a Hugo Award winner so it
can’t be too formulaic as many alien invasion stories tend to be.
Until next time . .

You'll blaze through Jurassic Park in a hurry. I am a very slow reader but it only took me a couple days to read it because the story was so riveting. Shame the movie didn't have room for more of the compy scenes.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that since I'm a slow reader myself! I may just be a able to read it and watch the first movie before seeing the new sequel when it comes out. Thanks!
