Have you run out of quality mainstream science fiction to read? Looking for something different? Willing to make an effort to find unusual books? These are favorite books of mine since adolescence, books/authors/series that have experienced far less recognition than they should have. Some of them are hard to find, some VERY hard to find, but all are excellent and come with my strong recommendation. They generally encompass alternative worlds, often alternative ways of living, and they will provoke you to think about your environment in new and unique ways.
I hope you enjoy my old favorites, I always have and always will!
