Friday Favorites: Classic Sci-Fi

May 31, 2019

I’ve talked about classics a whole lot on the blog over the last year – it is no secret that I love them. When I was looking at past posts, I realized my classic sci-fi picks were severely lacking, so today I intend to fix.

Sci-fi was always readily available in my house, but mostly the pulpy thriller kind. I’m talking Crichton and Koontz for days. When I started getting serious about reading in school, I noticed how few sci-fi books there were, and the ones that were assigned were the reading equivalent eating your broccoli. These five though, they’re delicious and literary, and simply must reads if you are into the sciency stuff.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne

    Oooh, I remember loving The Martian Chronicles! And I remember enjoying I, Robot also, though I now can’t remember much about it. I’m also overdue for a re-read of The Hitchhiker’s Guide.

    I’ll have to disagree with you on Twenty Thousand Leagues, though. While I can agree that it’s a classic, I personally couldn’t stand it and had to DNF.

    As long as I’ve loved CS Lewis, I’ve never read h is science fiction! I think I’m afraid it won’t be as good as his fantasy. I guess I should get over it and give Out of the Silent Planet a try.

    I didn’t even know C.S. Lewis wrote sci-fi! I’ve only read the Narnia series.

    I’ll never forget how much I loved the covers for those C.S. Lewis books. Ross’ dad was a fan and had a set of that trilogy but I never did get around to reading them myself.
