I know that very technical stories like one of Jules Verne’s are science fiction, but what about stories of werewolves, etc.

Does this count as science fiction? Does it count as fantasy fiction? Is fantasy fiction a subgroup of science fiction?

What is some good science fiction to read? Classic as well as popular as well as contemporary?

classic science fiction
shrek asked:


Have read all of Asimov, Arthur C Clark, Jules Verne, And somebody said Anne McAffrey and I read most of hers as well ( Well I didn’t read the Doona trilogy, and the powers that be, or Peytabee in her case)

So what’s next? Plz classify them under diff. headings as in Popular/Classic, or Your favs( Not very popular, but you like them?)

Ah yes, and someone suggested Steel beach , and Titan (john Varley) So I read them as well. Now what?

I am reaching the end of my student life, so am reading these things at a fast pace( 2-3 books a week is all i can manage , what with exams coming.)
Oh, I forgotto say that I have read all of Michael Crichton except Eaters of The dead, and Vector.

Couldn’t find them!
And lots of Robincook things, bt they don’t come across as sci-fi, I said that cos someone suggested robiin cook.

I meant proper scifi, like in Asimov
