books that will make you fall in love with sci-fi (newbie friendly)

[@isaacbear7115]

Hitchhikers has been a semi constant reread for me. The humor is always wonderful and the characters are just so incredibly likable even when theyre designed to not be. Also, fun fact, the reason all of the adaptations are a little different is because the Infinite Improbability Drive causes variations in reality.

I loved Hail Mary! Also love Murderbot with my whole heart. Great video 🖤

Oh yeah and a recommendation for accessible sci-fi! I just saw they’re making the Scott Westerfield Uglies series into a show, this would be a great time for people to read the originals! Also YA but deals with themes that I still think about decades after I read them, plus I think it’s relevant with all the drama about facial fillers in the news lately

@@MrsGarc thank you!!

[@cocosbooknook]

Omg yes! The uglies series used to be a yearly reread for me when I was in high school! I should do a YA video

Psalm for the wild built is one of my fav books, I cried lol. I immediatly bought the second one once I had finished the first. I was always put off sci fi but thank you for the recommendations, I'll give them a go. When I think about it, I have watch a lot of sci fi films so it should be a genre I enjoy ❤

@@jadelovesit_0 I’m so glad my video is helpful! Yes, don’t let it intimidate you! You just have to find the right books

Hi, I am not a big scifi reader, but I am currently reading Clara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro and it is labelled at our library as scifi. I must say that it is very easy to read. Thanks for the interesting video!

Thank you for this list! I recently read Dune as my first proper sci-fi book, and I’ve been looking to find some books that aren’t so… Frank Herbert-y. Psalm for the Wild Built sounds amazing!

[@cocosbooknook]

You’re very welcome! I’ll probably do a part two at some point in the future, as well :) I hope you love Psalm for the Wild Built.

Good list. I would turn people to Enders Game.

Ready player one is not a good book. Never saw the movie, but the book was weak. Easy, fun read if you're obsessed with a very specific nostalgia, but not a lot of substance.

@@modestalchemist to each their own! :) I wanted to give people of all different tastes options to get their feet wet with sci fi.
