I discovered, in a blog Italian, and only 4 months of delay, the Guardian published a list of the 20 best novels geek ...
I adapt myself to the proposed standard and shows the novels I've read in bold, and those beds in VO lingua originale:
- The HitchHiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — Douglas Adams [VO]
- Nineteen Eighty-Four — George Orwell [VO]
- Brave New World — Aldous Huxley
- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? — Philip Dick
- Neuromancer — William Gibson
- Dune — Frank Herbert
- I, Robot — Isaac Asimov [VO]
- Foundation — Isaac Asimov
- The Colour of Magic — Terry Pratchett
- Microserfs — Douglas Coupland [VO]
- Snow Crash — Neal Stephenson
- Watchmen — Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons
- Cryptonomicon — Neal Stephenson
- Consider Phlebas — Iain M Banks
- Stranger in a Strange Land — Robert Heinlein
- The Man in the High Castle — Philip K Dick
- American Gods — Neil Gaiman
- The Diamond Age — Neal Stephenson
- The Illuminatus! Trilogy — Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson
- Trouble with Lichen - John Wyndham
Well .. at least I know what are the next three novels to buy, no? :-)
I continue to recommend, "What a Carve Up by Jonathan Coe ... with the "geek" has nothing to do but it's almost too good beginning to the end ..
PS: I was about to conclude when I correct .. Everywhere I wrote "books" instead of "novels" but I was making a mistake: where is "Escher, Godel and Bach: an eternal Golden Braid" or "Nexus"? In fact, the original article in the Guardian spoke of "geek novels", not "geek books"
