Which series of Science Fiction books do like the best? This is part two of the polls to find the most favored series.

We are looking at a series of at least two or three books. There are many series out there and I could only list a few. I must admit that I have not read many of these. Especially non-English writers’ series. If you have others, not listed please put them in comments. I will publish the results after the poll closes.

This series was in the first poll of this series of polls and was fairly popular. In fact, there was such a good recommendation that I have added it to my own reading list. I’ll be getting them when I next visit the bookstore. The other poll posting is: #843953 You may want to look at the results to it.

Great haha! But don't watch Netflix's TV series—it has been completely altered beyond recognition!

I am not big on watching any TV nowadays. I will watch DVDs of movies that have not been altered though. I won’t watch, ever, the altered Star Wars movie, where Greedo takes the first shot at Han Solo. It changes the whole idea of who Han Solo is.

daaamn you got me... I didn't read any of them. LOL now I have another list.

There will be other parts to this poll coming out after this one is finished. I intend to amalgamate the results of all these parts into one poll to determine, exactly, which is the most popular series amongst SN readers. I am assuming that SN readers are a slice of the general population, as fare as science fiction readers goes,

The foundation by Isaac Asimov

It's one of my favorites, you could call it a space opera as the main plot happens around various planets, space ships, distant travel, and different cultures.

It also has some interesting theory called psychohistory developed by a mathematician with the intent of predicting future events.

The three books are:

Foundation
Foundation and the Empire
Forward the Foundation

This was one of the greatest series, I thought. However, not many people thought the same. It is a shame. This series was in the first poll that I made. It may appear in the last one I make, too.

The Silo Series

It's a really cool dystopian sci-fi on what would happen if people couldn't go outside and were forcde to live inside of a silo with other 10,000 people.

I won't go any further to avoid spoilers, but I can guarantee you the plot is thick and full of advanced scientific ideas if that tickles your curiosity.

The three books are called:

Wool
Shift
Dusk

I saw the first season on TV. I am still looking for the second season. I thought it was a good program. The books are usually better than the movies or programs.

The first and second season are like maybe half of the first book, too god damn slow for my zoomer wanna be brain.

I'm watching it more to enjoy the interpretation, they got good actors IMHO.

I thought it was done well, without reading the books. But, then, again, most sci-fi programs seem to be good if you haven’t read the books. If you have read the books, they sometimes lose their edge. For instance, the Foundation TV programs are not nearly as good as Asimov wrote.

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky is another one.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic OP 14h

I have added Tchaikovsky to the list. Is he related to the famous composer? That would be an interesting relationship. What did you think of this series? I am always interested in good pointers.

Lol I came here to draw star trek when they went wild west 😂 🤣

I've only read red rising, so that one i guess.

0 sats \ 4 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic OP 14h

I haven’t read that one. What is it like? You might like the Skyway stories by John DeChancie if I recall your work correctly. They are science fiction stories about a highway to the stars, literally a highway.

It was ok ish

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic OP 12h

That is a relatively lukewarm endorsement. What kind of story is it?

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Aardvark 12h

It's been quite a few years since I read it. I just remember it feeling like a teen book.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Rothbardian_fanatic OP 11h

OK, I see what you mean. Some of the teen books lose their luster after you become an adult. I started reading sci-fi back when I was in third grade and there were some books I was very impressed with, but after reading them as an adult, I wondered, “Why?”

My reading list just got longer. I've only read two of these.

I’ve got you by only one more. Most of the authors on this list are absolutely new to me. It only shows how long it has been since I had a chance to get to my favorite bookstore: Uncle Hugo’s Science Fiction Bookstore and Uncle Edgar’s Mystery Bookstore, which are in the same building and only separated by a wall.
