--it's a true classic and been a few decades since I last read it. One of Clarke's best for sure! |

Thanks...that was what I was thinking but wanted to be sure before making a couple nominations. My to-be-read list is several lifetimes long now soooooo....but so many are books not everyone would enjoy so I am playing it safer this go-round.

I think I have it updated to this point.
Please let me know, if I have missed anyone's nomination, second, or third (or if you note any other errors). |

I'll second "The Sparrow", "To Say Nothing of the Dog", and "A Fire Upon the Deep".
"The Sparrow" should have some interesting discussion points, "To Say Nothing of the Dog" is on my to read pile, and "A Fire Upon the Deep" is a really excellent book. |

That's easy. The people who can buy it will buy it, strip the DRM, and give the US readers a free copy.

I'd like to nominate Time's Eye by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter.

That sounds good. I'll second Time's Eye. Clarke's a great writer, and if he can do for time what he did for space in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the book's bound to be a winner!
