theadsr: "the skylark and lensman books EE Smith"
Agreed, I don\'t know much about skylark, but I read Lensman and it was very good. Doc EE is hard to find these days though. I scour the second hand shops for his stuff and haven\'t seen much there, but sometimes I run across them.
Samwise, you\'re talking about the Foundation Trilogy by Asimov, good stuff. If you haven\'t read Caves of Steel and all of them, check it out. I think I Robot has the first book in it... not sure though, it\'s been since I was in sixth grade since I read it.
kirath and Samwise, okay okay, suck ass was a little harsh. I just like my sci-fi (or what ever you classify 1984 as) to fill me with awe and wonder, not frighten and depress me.
