Get any good books for Christmas? :marseyreading:

Unable to load image

Generally I have better luck with receiving non-fiction so that's what I ask for now. Anthologies are pretty safe too. Already read the quilt book (it's mostly pictures) :marseyangel:

Way ahead of you there, I loved the Hyperion Cantos. A lot of scifi is derivative obviously but Hyperion was so original. And then he completely reinvented the series into something else halfway through.

Omg bestie we literally have the same tastes! Can you recommend good/scifi movies and tv shows plz?

No email address required.

uhhh for movies i'm pretty basic here are some of the lesser known ones i've liked

Strange Days

The Endless (more realistic sci fi but still good)

Sunshine

The Fifth Element (not lesser known but I had to include it)

Predestination (if you don't already know the twist going in)

Arrival (another blockbuster but I love it so much, the short story it's based on is also well worth reading)

Edge of Tomorrow (FINISH THE GODDARN SEQUEL ALREADY)

for TV I like:

Battlestar Galactica (it has its problem spots but overall I consider this the greatest scifi television show of all time)

Babylon 5

Farscape

The Expanse

X-Files (obviously)

Fringe (this one's a bit campier than the rest but it had a really solid run)

Frick Sunshine is so good. I watched it like 5 times. Saw Predestination ages ago but yeh it was him the whole time lol.

I started Battlestar Galatica but never finished season 1 also got to season 3 or something of the Expanse.

Yeh its so good. How beautiful was the ending. They ended up together through all that time and everything they went through.

It's surprisingly sad. So was Hyperion. I think a lot of books about the future are. You don't like scifi?

I don't think I've read much sci-fi. I'm struggling to think of any I've read actually

I've read Cat's Cradle

Yeh it's an acquired taste. I always thought of books as going back in time cause they were written in the past but scifi is an escape to the future.
