One of these days before I head to the bookstore again, I should get you to e-mail me a list of good science fiction authors. It's not a genre I read a lot, but every time I'm at the bookstore I think maybe I should get a few...but the covers have a tendency to look pretty corny and I don't know how to tell if what's inside is any good! I know Heinlein...but already have some of his books, and find him a bit too technical at times. Don't know any others to trust.

I did get two Ellis Peters book and an Agatha Christie I don't think I've ever read - didn't know there were any such critters out there in the wild.

If you like Ellis Peters, try a book called "Doomsday Book" by Connie Willis. It's science fiction, but a time-travel novel, and the 'back in time' bit is set in the Middle Ages. I don't want to give anything away, but seriously it's one of the best books I've ever read.

Willis's "To Say Nothing of the Dog" and "Passage" are also brilliant, though not as beautiful as Doomsday Book.
