I loved Dune, Stranger in a Strange Land (Robert Heinlein-only around 450 pages though, so it doesn't quick fit the criteria) all excellent reads as well as all the Harry Potter books.<br /><br />Happy 2010!!<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-89606234589372944202010-01-01T11:08:01.397-06:002010-01-01T11:08:01.397-06:00Happy New Year CJ and Little CJ :)

It is by far the best science fiction book ever written - IMO. Do not, however, read the sequels. Then...move on to George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones series - if you want really big, totally engrossing sci fi books. The last book kinda sucked but not because of bad writing.<br />Happy reading!Julia Rachel Barretthttp://juliarachelbarrett.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-47338120711451960982009-12-29T15:08:53.365-06:002009-12-29T15:08:53.365-06:00I just finished In the Name of the Wind and *loved...I just finished In the Name of the Wind and *loved* it. I'm both excited and bummed that this is a new author - I have the hope of lots to come, but nothing else of his to read *right now* (she said, ever so patiently...). I'll have to check some of the books I just borrowed from the library and see if they are over 500 pages. Gotta love a challenge that lets me do what I do naturally. *grin*Bunny Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413742409863157391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-88643237365114132472009-12-29T11:37:45.264-06:002009-12-29T11:37:45.264-06:00I'm loving the Big Book Challenge.
