Sci Fi Book Recommendations Novels & Stories

"It´s one Charlotte recommended to me. ´Time Enough for Love´; a Heinlein sci-fi novel from the seventies." Richard sniffs. "Doesn´t sound like your sort of reading. I´d have had you down as a thrillers and suspense man?" "Yes, normally you´d be right. But the fact that when I was in the hospital, unconscious, out of all the books she could have chosen, Charlotte decided to read this to me, left me thinking that I should give it a try." "And?" His mouth twitches with humour. "I can see why she chose it." "What´s it about?"

“That’s very Slaughterhouse-Five of you.” For those who don’t know, Slaughterhouse-Five is probably the most famous book by Kurt Vonnegut. Although it’s an anti-war story about the firebombing of Dresden during World War II, it’s also a science fiction novel. Among other insane plot points, the main character and a woman he’s never met get abducted by aliens and put in a zoo on the aliens’ home planet, where the extraterrestrials watch them exactly like humans would watch a pair of chimpanzees in a cage here on Earth.
