I'm a fan of Ben Bova myself. I've not read all of his, and look forward to acquiring more of his books. When I was younger, I read a lot of the Halo books, my favorite author of those thus far being Eric Nylund. Any suggestions for some good science fiction (obvious and obscure ideas equally welcome by me)?

Robert A. Heinlein. Read them all. Starship Troopers first, then The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

What is the best professional military fiction? | RallyPoint
Of the options offered? Warning: mentioning the movies without having read the books is a down-votable offense. Offering an alternative professional military fiction is acceptable, but six answers to a survey is not supportable.

Capt Richard I P. - Those impromptu political speeches almost ruin the books for me, bro.

Capt Richard I P. - Same problem exactly (besides the fact that she was nowhere near as interesting ). Like John Galt's radio speech. Sounds so convincing to a teenager, and so ridiculous to a man or woman.

CPT (Join to see) I like it, but that stretch can get a bit long. Rand's writing always struck me as weakest when dealing with parenting and the military. Two areas in which she had no experience and possibly no friends with experience.

I myself have been an H.G. Wells fan since I was a young boy. I read "Time Machine" around 15 times.

Of course you have the old stand by of Tolkien. I love his translation of Beowulf more than anything else. Followed by his translation of Sigurd and Gudrun

Tolkien is of course mostly known for LotR, if known at all know, but his work in Anglo-Saxon and other philological areas is monumental.
