See I loved Dune and Stranger in a Strange World. Another Robert A. Heinlen book I enjoyed was The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and you may have to pick through them because the set has many different authors, but there are many wonderful Star Wars books, which, as fan of the movies, filled the gaps of time between them in the Star Wars universe. Contact is fantastic, as is Brave New World!
Stranger in a Strange World is what I started with back in the day, and it's what got me interested in Sci-Fi. It's a light read compared to say, Dune, and I highly recommend it, along with the many, many Star Wars books.
On another note, has anyone read Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace? It's a hefty read that I'm soon going to attempt to tackle.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is another book I didn't like much but it is very well liked in general. Worth a read for any sci-fi fan. Star Wars ones are great.
I have read Infinite Jest, it was interesting. Just make sure you have enough time to take it all in. Footnotes galore!
I've been reading the Drizzt series within the Forgotten Realms series and setting. Because D&D.
Le fran�ais n�est pas ma langue maternelle mais j�aime bien la litt�rature fran�aise aussi ! Tu aimerais peut-�tre The Great Gatsby de Fitzgerald ou quelque chose de Hemingway? Hemingway a pass� �norm�ment du temps � Paris, tu le savais? J�ai lu The Old Man and the Sea il y a deux ans et le langage est assez directe - pas beaucoup de langage figuratif ou inaccessible pour un apprenant. Et il y a toujours Harry Potter hehe courage xx

Love that there's a book section now! <3 Just finished The Chanur Saga and am looking for recommendations along the same lines...
Anybody have any sci-fi/fantasy recommendations that feature other planets run by non-great ape descendants? Also, books about first contact that aren't super serious (are there any funny books about first contact you can recommend?), because I could use the humor...

It's such a great book! What did you enjoy the most?

Well Douglas Adams with 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' is the first person that comes to mind when you combine sci-fi with humor.
