I’ve never read a science fiction book. What do you recommend to get to know the genre?

Science Fiction is such a popular genre that staff members of the Fiction and Young Adult Department have created a How-To Guide, Out-Of-This-World Reading: Science Fiction and Fantasy, on that subject!

In the guide we discuss the different subgenres of both science fiction and fantasy and give links to the websites of authors writing in them. We also include links to web resources for authors and series, readalikes, online fiction, book reviews, and directories of where stories and novels can be found. The “Best Books” section is especially helpful for people beginning to read in the genres. In that section there are lists of award winners, the classics in the genres, and reading suggestions for everyone from the novice to the science fiction expert.

Happy reading!
