Hi all,
I'm going to peruse the recommended reading thread, but I figured I'd trawl for more specific recommendations. I'm interested in works relating to space exploration and psionics/ESP, or preferably, both.
The kind of thing I'm looking for is the "Wagon Train to the stars" schtick. Stargate Universe, Star Trek TOS/Voyager/Enterprise, Farscape, Firefly, the Traveller RPG, etc.
Also, I'd prefer to avoid stuff that's already been made into movies or TV programs, since I already know about that stuff and can run it down on my own. Other than that, you needn't worry about recommending something everyone should already know about; I've read very little sci-fi (in fact, other than a couple of Robotech novels, the only one I can recall is Gerrold's never-to-be-finished Chtorran series, which I highly recommend for anyone who can stand reading a series that will never be finished - it's the Duke Nukem Forever of fiction. Edit: now that I think about it, I did read a Pern novel, and Fahrenheit 451, and 1984.).
TIA
