I used to be an avid, avid reader as a teenager/young adult, but now I just can't seem to discover any new authors or series that spark my interest as much. I really love science fiction/fantasy novels, but I'm not opposed to anything really. I can also get into plain old weird books. My favorite authors so far have been: Clive Barker Anne Rice Margaret Weis (&Tracy Hickman) Garth Nix ...and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head. I'm looking for suggestions of books by authors or genres similar to these, because I miss reading direly. Anybody got anything awesome for me? Thanks in advance!
If you love science fiction do yourself a favour and read the 'Space Odyssey' series by Arthur C. Clarke. There's four of them. Clarke was the pioneer of science fiction so you know it's good. It's an excellent series, and I don't even really like science fiction. 2001: A Space Odyssey — film and novel — produced concurrently and released in 1968 2010: Odyssey Two — 1982 novel, adapted as the 1984 film 2010 with screenplay by Peter Hyams 2061: Odyssey Three — 1987 novel 3001: The Final Odyssey — 1997 novel
