Just finished Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game yesterday, one of my favorite pieces of SF.
Finally getting to William Gibson's classic cyberpunk novel Neuromancer.

The Picture of Dorian Grey- Oscar Wilde. Heard it was interesting, so decided to check it out. Just started reading it.

Despair, by Valdimir Nabokov. Many shades of Dostoevsky.

Ada again by Nabokov. Great, great book. Very saucy, very funny. and just dripping with literary references.
I hear that that's supposed to be quite good. How do you like it?

Foundation by Issac Asimov.
A true classic, it's interesting to see from where SF owes so much. A good story, but Asimov, while creative isn't much of a prose stylist (at least at this point in his writing career, anyway).

I hear that that's supposed to be quite good. How do you like it? It's good, though sometimes you wish it wasn't so slow in some parts. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
