LOL. Yeah, I've pretty much read all the ones that is classified as classics.

Looking for more or less 'unknown' authors that are good.

Cheers for the suggestions though

PS: I want sci fi, not fantasy

I really enjoyed Sphere. Yeah the movie was good too, but the book was way better. And, its not just your typical sci-fi thriller. It really does start looking at the philosophy of life on other planet's, and a human's responsibility towards their powers.

Read this first:

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Philip K. Dick

one of the rare cases where i actually liked the movie (bladerunner) better. the book was a bit dry and straightforward. the movie was moodier and epic in feel.

and even stranger, i like the edited theatrical release over the director's cut b/c harrison ford's voiceover is not that horrendous, and the ending with Roy's questioning of life is emotionally touching.

and vangelis' score? awesome...

"I Am Legend" is a good book too. A quick read, but an interesting story that has been done numerous times in modified movies, with a movie based on the book I believe in the process of being made. It's quite similar to 28 Days Later.

(also has a couple of short stories at the end what are enjoyable).

I believe the original version is part of the DVD isn't it...as a special feature?
