But no other sci-fi? No Ender's Game? No Stranger in a Strange Land? I know you have lots of other books to read, but there's so much good stuff out there And yeah the Uglies series is great too.

I also love Scott Westerfield's Uglies, Pretties, Specials. They're SF lite. Got to suck those young folks in!

If you liked Scalzi, you should try the Miles Vorkasegan series by Lois McMaster Bujold -- <i>Shards of Honor</i> and <i>Barrayar</i> are the first two in the series.

It was my first Scalzi. I'm especially looking forward to Zoe's Tale. I read this earlier this week…definitely want to continue with the series too. It was my first Scalzi.
