Your title sounds like an ad parody.

"Books. Historically, the most valuable medium man has created. But, do people actually read them? A recent study shows that the strongest indicator of a book's popularity is not its contents, but rather its aesthetics."

That's very funny!

Thank you for providing the list.

[-] sitman | -1 points | Mar 10 2017 17:32:01

Looks like a very long list...

[-] Lcasito96 | 4 points | Mar 10 2017 20:07:15

Any favorite? I want to read something new and I don't know what. Thx btw

[-] achimba | 8 points | Mar 11 2017 00:18:35

I suggest these ten to begin with.

Orwell, George - 1984

Huxley, Aldous - Brave New World

Bradbury, Ray - Fahrenheit 451

Wells, H.G. - The Island Of Dr. Moreau

Verne, Jules - Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

Dick, Philip K. - Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep

Adams, Douglas - Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

Card, Orson Scott - Ender's Game

Gibson, William - Neuromancer

Herbert, Frank - Dune

Special pick is Hogan, James P. - Inherit The Stars. The author was a bit of a nutjob irl but this series was very thought provoking and written well imo.

[-] soylent_dream | 6 points | Mar 10 2017 21:22:50

Read all of the Phillip K. Dick books.

Stephen King - Dark Tower series

[-] stfucupcake | 2 points | Mar 11 2017 04:06:06

Started this last year and got distracted & set it aside.

Dl'd the Dark Tower comic series & was completely blown away...

I garden so am now listening to the series, am on book 4, Wizard and Glass, which is my fav so far.

The series is unlike anything else I've read. Highly recommend.

[-] Lcasito96 | 1 points | Mar 10 2017 21:37:27

I have to confess that I actually bought the book three months ago, I have't started it yet.

[-] choolete | 3 points | Mar 11 2017 10:26:15

All here suggest great books (the hell, the whole compilation is about great books, but for an introduction to oldschool Scifi I will go for Asimov, father of the 3 rules of robotics btw. Start with Nighfall (30pages) to start opening your mind (is his best short story), then follow it up with I am Robot (forget about the movie) and then blow your mind with the Foundation trilogy. Is so good that you will want to continue reading the limits of the foundation and Foundation and Earth (for me easier to read than the trilogy, better written and with a mind blowing story).

Aw man I need that :( I had an awkward run in with a huge ship the other day, I referred to it as a tugboat he wasn't amused.

[-] NoMoreNicksLeft | 3 points | Mar 10 2017 16:20:12

Thanks!

[edit]

You're my hero. The complete set of Book of Swords.

Did you miss star wars books?

[-] achimba | 2 points | Mar 10 2017 23:48:16

I never read any Star Wars books. I just investigated on Wookieepedia (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_books) and there are so many of them. I do not know where to begin!

[-] soylent_dream | 1 points | Mar 10 2017 21:24:40

If you can find and upload all of the John Steinbeck novels, I'd be forever grateful.

[-] achimba | 6 points | Mar 10 2017 23:58:06

[-] lyraseven | 1 points | Mar 10 2017 22:17:19

Thanks for the upload OP, but do you know if the His Dark Materials included is the censored version?

[-] achimba | 1 points | Mar 10 2017 23:56:20

I think these are the US censored versions.

[-] lyraseven | 2 points | Mar 11 2017 00:05:31

Thanks <3

Still a great upload for the rest, thanks.
