Nope. Not a sci-fi book on my list.
Aww. We’re similiar. Somewhat…
So has anyone been able to think of an author for “X”? Can’t think of a single one…
Well, if you can find even one “X” author, I suppose it’s your favourite one. (It’s not cheating; it’s sophistry.) I mean, the OP didn’t require you to have read them. So there’s the autobiography of Malcolm X, and the various historical writings of Xenophon…
(going quietly before I am asked to leave)
Everyone should read this. Amazing book.
I would have included it myself but…actually I was thinking favorite novel. Maybe I should have mentioned that. Oh well.
And I don’t have any science fiction either. Unless you count the giant mutant beetle in Kafka.
It took me an absurd amount of time to come up with this list, and it is quite incomplete. Expect updates if I think of some more. If I mention a specific book in a series, that doesn’t mean I haven’t read or don’t like the rest of the series, it’s just I like that one best. If I mention a series as a whole, I like all the books in it equally.
