Mine too.

Snow Crash is definitely my favorite cyberpunk book ever."

I'm a sucker for Post-Apocalyptic fiction.

Check out "The Road" by Carmac McCarthy if you haven't already.  Great read."

Yeah.  They had no names in the book."

Yeah, The Road was alright.  I'm not a huge fan of Cormac McCarthy, though.  His sentences don't have a very consistent rhythm.  He likes to avoid punctuating sentences to give the appearance of style, but it's really just a nuisance.

My old chemistry teacher would bitch-slap you for saying that."

I don't know, he was a strange guy. His favorite musician is Tom Waits, if that says anything about him.

...and i thought Tom Waits is obscure.

Hey giantbomb! Anyone know who this guy is?

I think I like hard science fiction the most, but anything that doesn't get too magical gets an automatic plus for me...  tnough the magical stuff has a place too, I guess.

I think Tom Waits is cool, if that says anything about me.  I kinda also had trouble with Cormac's punctuation tendencies.  I thought it was kinda neat to start, but then I realized he does this all the time.  Sometimes it's just about communication; when the style gets in the way and keeps making you wrestle with the book's style instead of its ideas, you might be doing something wrong :)

On post-apocalyptic fiction:

I'm a big fan of anything similar to the Stargate franchise (Stargate Atlantis to be precise)...so, I guess that'd be what? Military science fiction? Or so says wiki... Actually, anything set in space with advanced technology (hyperdrives and so on) does a good job of pulling me in.

According to wiki, I like social sci fi, mostly dystopian future stuff...Handmaid's Tale, 1984, Firefly.

I like post apocalyptic fiction too.

Also, Tom Waits is very cool...I saw him first in Down by Law before I sought out his music though.

Another vote for Cyberpunk, but my favorite SciFi novels are "Starship Troopers" and "Revelation Space", which are NOT Cyberpunk.

Cyberpunk, no doubt. Blade Runner, Snatcher, Cowboy Bebop, and Serenity are some of my favorite things.

I prefer the one with alien boobies...like Species.  = D

I love Cyberpunk. Reminds me of when I was talking about more games need to be like Total Recall, The Terminator and Escape From New York.

I like space operas, allegories, and low fantasy epics like Robert E. Howard's Conan.

post apocalyptic or man vs monster like aliens gears.

Post apocalyptic and whatever A Clockwork Orange is considered.

lol sci fi erotica
