Timeline
Michael Crichton
Ballantine Books, 2003
Amazing Techno-Thriller
+ Time to Sleep? Nah.
+ A Sci-Fi type thriller that makes you think your reading historical fiction.
Just my cup of tea! A mixture of science, history, and the underlying social ramifications - if time travel becomes a reality. No fluff, no extraneous drawn out descriptions, just right into the action. Crichton, with his medical and science background infuses a sense of reality into his stories. ...

The Light of Other Days
Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen Baxter
Tor Science Fiction, 2001
Excellent "What if?" novel
+ Great Plot and Premise - Right up my Alley!
+ Light of Other Days...Excursion into an Opened Mind...
This novel is a great example of the "what if?" variety of science fiction. It takes one or two simple premises and takes them to a great number of logical conclusions. This is one of those books that will stick in your head and leave you pondering the possibilities for a long time to come.

Max Brooks
Three Rivers Press, 2003
"Exellent read"
+ Thanks Max Brooks!
+ I am now prepared
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks is amazing. It has humor, but is totally serious the entire length of the book. I feel that if a Zombie Outbreak happens anytime soon I will be better prepared having read mentioned book. A must for Zombie, Horror, and Survival fanatics!!!
