Foundation (Foundation Novels)
4.  Foundation (Foundation Novels) by Isaac Asimov

2001: A Space Odyssey
5.  2001: A Space Odyssey by Sir Arthur C. Clarke

The Pleasures of Deception
6.  The Pleasures of Deception by Norman Moss

Used & New from: £1.00

Dune
7.  Dune by Frank Herbert
The list author says:
  "I suspect I would still enjoy this book if I read it today. It's one of those few books that is so densely packed with material you could read it dozens of times and still get something out of it."

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (130 customer reviews)

Stranger in a Strange Land
8.  Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
The list author says:
  "Heinlein was a real mystery to me: I either detested his books, or absolutely adored them, and this definitely fell in the latter camp. Loved every page of it!"
Used & New from: £1.26
3.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (45 customer reviews)

The Book Of Skulls (S.F. MASTERWORKS)
9.  The Book Of Skulls (S.F. MASTERWORKS) by Robert Silverberg
The list author says:
  "By my late teens I'd turned my back on the Asimov's of this world and was a committed Silverberg and Dick man. The Book of Skulls I just had to finish, had to read every page, then read it again!"
£5.79   Used & New from: £0.01
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Dying Inside
10.  Dying Inside by Robert Silverberg
