Geek Books
Published November 26th, 2005 in GeneralWoohoo, another meme to spread. And this one I really like, book and scifi junkie that I am. Stolen from Michael Hanscom:
The Guardian UK ran a survey voting for the top 20 geek novels written since 1932. The books I’ve read are marked in bold, the ones I also own are marked in italics.
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — Douglas Adams
- Nineteen Eighty-Four — George Orwell
- Brave New World — Aldous Huxley
- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? — Philip K Dick
- Neuromancer — William Gibson
- Dune — Frank Herbert
- I, Robot — Isaac Asimov
- Foundation — Isaac Asimov
- The Colour of Magic — Terry Pratchett
- Microserfs — Douglas Coupland
- Snow Crash — Neal Stephenson
- Watchmen — Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons
- Cryptonomicon — Neal Stephenson
- Consider Phlebas — Iain M Banks
- Stranger in a Strange Land — Robert Heinlein
- The Man in the High Castle — Philip K Dick
- American Gods — Neil Gaiman
- The Diamond Age — Neal Stephenson

Of the ones I haven’t read, I have read something else by the same author in most of the cases. And the rest are in my reading list. I need to return some books to the library on Monday anyway, so I’ll keep my eyes open.
