Yep, there has been some discussion before about Replay. It's a stand out and one of my favorite books.
If there are any Follett fans out there, the third book in the Kingsbridge series is coming out in September. Proof copies are showing up on eBay.
I am a huge Blake Crouch fan. I picked up Pines a few years ago and then proceeded to read almost everything by him. I highly recommend Run, Dark Matter, and his collection of short stories. Abandon and Snowbound were good as well, but I'd say start with the others first.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Heather has it right...I also got on the Crouch bandwagon a year or two ago, and read most of his stuff in a burst...he has a very compelling way of telling a story. My favorites were, as Heather echoes, the PINES trilogy, DARK MATTER, and RUN (and in that order).
I really do hope you enjoy his other books. Please let us know what you think once you read them. I love his fast paced way of storytelling.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Any Harris experts have an opinion on this sig? Thx

Cixin Liu is a fairly recent favourite.
Edited for a few more additions:
Gene Wolfe, Harlan Ellison, Tim Powers, Ray Bradbury.
Two Canadian science fiction writers worth checking out are Peter Watts and Brent Hayward.
I struck out on here seeking our official Easton Press expert. Do we have a Thomas Harris expert in residency? Need help from both.
Thx

Easton Press did Silence of the Lambs a couple of years ago. I think I have it somewhere if there is something you want to know.

Oh. Well, I have a lot of Easton Press. Been collecting them since the 80's. Probably know quite a bit about the Masterpieces of Science Fiction and Signed Science Fiction series, but I would not say I'm an expert.

Do you by any chance have a complete list of Ben Bova and Mike Resnick Easton Press books? I was never sure I had or was looking for the ones I am missing.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
I have a spreadsheet of all that somewhere - I will look!

Well you are my go to Easton Press person now. Like it or not. Ha! I know they are definitely part of collecting but how important do you view the blank book name plates? Collecting the Hemingway set (the multicolored version) and wondering how much they effect value in your opinion?

Hayward doesnt have any series. Actually, he has only three novels and a short story collection. I like to think of him as a cold hearted China Mieville. Filaria, A Head Full of Mountains, Fecund's Melancholy Daughter, Broken Stars Broken Moon. Try a few stories from Broken Stars to get used to his style or dive right into Filaria. If you thought Wool was too vanilla, you'll like it.
I've read only three books by Watts: Blindsight and its sequel Echopraxia and the novella he published last year that's independent of all of his books. I'll have to look the name up. Blindsight was incredible. It's like if vastness of Hyperion, ideas of Arthur C. Clarke and Larry Niven's more Military sf had a really gnarly threesome. Echopraxia was too damned science/hard SF and even Watts said it was a "self-pwn."
Edit: the novella is The Freeze-Frame Revolution and it's a lot of fun.
Can anyone help me with First Edition Identification Points for the UK Red Dragon? Maybe even book size measurements?
Much appreciated!
