Scott Hanselman said ( [http://www.hanselman.com/blog/AmazonKindle.aspx](http://www.hanselman.com/blog/AmazonKindle.aspx)) it wasn't really suited for technical books and I'm hoping this has improved in this new generation :) http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment10http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment10Mon, 23 Feb 2009 20:35:42 GMTI just finished listening to the the first "Lost Fleet" book. I really enjoyed it. Have you read "Old Man's War"? That is a good sci fi also. http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment9http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment9Mon, 23 Feb 2009 16:32:03 GMTDon’t know if you have read John Scalzi’s stuff. He is also a known blogger, [http://whatever.scalzi.com/](http://whatever.scalzi.com/). The Old Man’s War series is a good one, but I like the first 2 books in that series the best. But if I had to pick one Scalzi book, it would be The Android's Dream. The first chapter has to be the funniest (in Monty Python style) SciFI I’ve ever read. It’s a very unique book. A follow up to it, The High Castle, is due out later this year. http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment8http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment8Sat, 21 Feb 2009 22:55:36 GMTRight, right, it isn't out yet... the post title shoulda tipped me off. http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment7http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment7Sat, 21 Feb 2009 20:19:02 GMTDon, I actually like the 4th book very much, mostly because it is not just about fighting battles, I think that the political issues are also facinating. I'll check the Orphanage & Coyote. http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment6http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment6Sat, 21 Feb 2009 18:57:25 GMTAvish, It isn't out. Only NHiA is out of the books in here. http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment5http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment5Sat, 21 Feb 2009 18:47:48 GMTThe Hyperion series from Dan Symons is not bad. Alastrair Reynolds also has some really good stuff, loved Chasm City. http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment4http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment4Sat, 21 Feb 2009 14:35:52 GMTI thought that The Lost Fleet series started off great, but the last book was a real stinker, and I sort of got bored with the series. Seems like Campbell tried to stretch a 3 book series into a 6 book series. If you like that type of SF books, check out Robert Buettner's Orphanage Series. Allen Steele's Coyote Series is also very good (well at least the first 2 books are, quality goes down a tad after the first 2). http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment3http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment3Sat, 21 Feb 2009 13:51:31 GMTWow, I can't believe they're not letting you use your real name on the book cover. This pseudonym is going to hunt you forever... :/ http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment2http://ayende.com/3887/5-books-that-i-am-waiting-for#comment2Sat, 21 Feb 2009 09:30:52 GMTHey, I didn't know your book is out!
