I’m not a big fan of science fiction, but when the Seattle Public Library’s book maven Nancy Pearl–author of Book Lust: Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Reason and Book Crush For Kids and Teens: Recommended Reading for Every Mood, Moment, and Interest–makes some suggestions, even I pay a little attention. Pearl has listed six of her favorite SF novels. Better still, there are excerpts for them all, so you can get a taste without leaving your computer.

You can find the list and the excerpts here.–David E
