My favorite sci-fi book is A Wrinkle in Time – actually the whole series.

My favorite sci-fi movie – damn that is a tough one. I like so many…..let’s see….. I think i too will have to go with “Alien”.

I’ve read about 14. I’m surprised there’s no Arthur C. Clarke on the main list. My favorite book of Clarke is not 2001 but The City and the Stars. I also think that Foundation and Empire is actually better than Foundation.

Finally, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a rather un-PC book about individual liberty. Even if it is libertarian (rather than the libertine Stranger) it seems like it deserves more respect.

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (just funny stuff)

I won’t speak about how thought provoking any SCI-FI book or movie is. I will simply talk about the main appeal of this genre to me…fun!

In the good old days, before all the trailers told us every plot and subplot, I remember walking into the theater for a movie that looked interesting from the poster. So, I thought what the heck, I’ll give it a try.

What transpired next will forever be burned in my brain…ALIEN!

My favorite sci fi movie is of course, Star Wars!I could not wait for the Star Trek movie. Maybe it will replace Star Wars in my list.

Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz has always been one of my favorites, although I'm not a huge fan of the whole apocalyptic genre. I'm more a time travel fan. Timeline was a fun story, but I thought it was kind of corny and surprised to see it on the list. I loved one that I think you once recommended, Scott...Replay by Ken Grimwood.

Only 23 here, what shame! I agree, a decent list. I'm more fantasy than Sci-Fi. There a couple notable plessimistic titles there... and they happen to be my favs of the list (1984, brave new world, farenheit 451, etc.) Christopher Gillespie´s last blog post..All Saints’ Day & Augsburg XXI

I think I've read 27 of them. It's a decent list. I'll think about some of my favorite. I really love the E.E. "Doc" Smith series, but that is sorta classic pulp sci fi. Rev. Todd Peperkorn´s last blog post..Remembering our Collective Shame
