Comments on: HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE named best geek novel http://www.bookgasm.com/reviews/sci-fi/hitchhikers-guide-best-geek-novel/ reading material to get excited about Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:11:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Ryun Patterson http://www.bookgasm.com/reviews/sci-fi/hitchhikers-guide-best-geek-novel/#comment-202 Ryun Patterson Thu, 01 Dec 2005 20:21:55 +0000 http://www.bookgasm.com/?p=246#comment-202 I've read 18 of the 20, all but Consider Phelbas and Trouble With Lichen, and I have to say I enjoyed them all. There's not a book on there that is only good because it is science fiction/fantasy. They're all well-written works. I think it would be hard to get any other demographic to give a top 20 list that contained as many top-shelf works of fiction. Soccer moms? Please. Dentists? Snooze. Tupperware Ladies? Burp.

Microserfs,Consider Phelbas, American Gods, The Diamond Age, and Trouble with Lichen. It's a pretty good list and I agree with your "geek = Sci Fi" assesment. I’ve read all but five of them.
