I finished reading my first Science Fiction work ever (Never too late :-))- The Hammer of God, Arthur C. Clarke.
Why did I choose this book, since frankly I had hardly any idea about what I was buying?
Well, I wanted to start reading Science Fiction (Why? Read the second point in Points for Style in How to Become a Hacker) and I had an upcoming 4-5 hour road trip coming up.
I was browsing through the books in the Science Fiction section and was reading the summary when the name of the asteroid- kali struck me. I mean, Kali? The Goddess of destruction, and being an Indian and a Bengali, I found it weirdly amazing. So I happily picked the book up, was excited to buy my first Science Fiction work ever and already had in mind the text I would write on the first page of the book.
It was an amazing read, taking exactly a week to finish and savour. How do I feel after reading my first Science Fiction?
Give me more!

Grats on your first SF book, and what an awesome choice. IMO if you enjoyed this book you will probably also enjoy Greg Bear's books, although he is more acopolyptic that most authors.
Hello!
Thanks for your comment! I just looked up Greg Bear- thanks for referring!
I just picked up Roger Penrose- The Emperor;s New Mind. I also read some chapters of "The Last Theorem". Since I wanted some mathematics too, so I stuck with the former now !
Keep reading and commenting on my blog!
