Hi Janosh! Thank you for the welcome!
Just a thing that crossed my mind: Did you read the Enderverse books by Orson Scott Card? I'm currently reading his 'Shadow' series and they really rock. If you have a similar background, you might love them too. :-)

I've read Ender's Game and the immediate sequel trilogy, but that's it. I haven't read any of the others. Something I should probably get around to one day...
 
I'll look on the Lib. shelves. Thanks for the tip. I think reality can be expressed, to some extent at least, by the projection of one's "wathan". Philip Jose Farmer?
Riverworld?

Hi Janosh! I haven't read the Riverworld series and didn't hear of Philip Jose Farmer before, I've put the first book on my to read list.
 
I'm using the new PF APP, now. Ender...se! Less strain.
 

Thread 'Stories about not so soft space fighters'

I wonder how much stories were written, that involve space fighters, and arent so soft as Star wars. I dont think missiles totally make fighter craft obsolate, for example the former cant escort shuttles if one wants to capture a celestial body. I dont insist fighters have to be manned (i enjoyed Enders game about someone control the events for afar) but i also think it isnt totally unjustifiable.

Thread 'Dune: Prophecy, what to read for additional story context?'

So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies. How much material is it pulling from the Dune books (both the original Frank Herbert and the Brian Herbert books)? If so, what books could fill in some knowledge gaps?
