I third Brave New World.

Spacechik · 10-20-2011, 11:16 PM

I'll third DUNE. I have seen the awful movie, but I would love to read the book. I think I never read it because the movie was so bad.

GA Russell · 10-20-2011, 11:20 PM

I second Ender's Game.

If Sherkanner's post is nullified, I will nominate Ender's Game.

Nyssa · 10-20-2011, 11:21 PM

I'll 3rd Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and I'll 2nd or 3rd Ender's Game.

The book is a lot better then the movie. Even the mini-series wasn't all that good.

Spacechik · 10-20-2011, 11:23 PM

I'll also third Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I love PKD. His story concepts are so interesting. Blade Runner was the movie of this book. Interesting, dark, depressing, depending on the movie ending one saw. I saw The Adjustment Bureau that was a PKD short story. Good as well.

Great book! I will second that.

HomeInMyShoes · 10-21-2011, 10:11 AM

I feel so powerful. One last nomination vote in hand and a few books at two.

Blindsight had me until it talked about genetically engineered vampire.

I'm going to third Halting State by Charles Stross and I'm putting it on my potential reads list because it just sounds so geeky that I'd love it.

WT Sharpe · 10-21-2011, 10:22 AM

That makes 10 fully nominated books. Nominations are closed.
