TNPC Readers' Sci-Fi Recommended Book List

by Lee Hudspeth
April 13, 2000

From the incredible response I received from our review of "Ender's Game" it looks like the TNPC subscriber base is rife with savvy and eclectic sci-fi fans. I've consolidated your replies and recommendations into an ad hoc "TNPC Readers' Sci-Fi Recommended List." These were the 15 books that received the most votes. The TNPCers mentioned were the first to recommend a book based on when their email hit my inbox. I've got my spring and summer reading plans all set now, that's for sure. Thanks everyone!
