What to Read When You’re Tired of The Hunger Games

I must confess, although I hugely enjoyed the Hunger Games trilogy, Divergent by Veronica Roth and other similar titles (I also recently read and loved the classic A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller), I have now grown a little weary of the dystopian/post-apocalyptic genre.  So, for anyone else who might be looking for some “other” science fiction, here are six titles (old and new) to consider:

St. Charles Public Library IL - Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. CoreySt. Charles Public Library IL - REAMDE by Neal StephensonSt. Charles Public Library IL - The Alien Years by Robert SilverbergSt. Charles Public Library IL - Muse of Fire by Dan SimmonSt. Charles Public Library IL - Hammerjack by Marc GillerSt. Charles Public Library IL - All About Emily by Connie Willis

In addition, for those who generally don’t read science fiction, Flavorwire recently did a “10 Great Science Fiction Books for People Who Don’t Read Sci-Fi” post which had some interesting titles (I totally agree about Fledgling by Octavia Butler) and Reader Services maintains a similar list, Books for Those Who Think They Don’t Read Science Fiction.
