Dune is one of the few books I put down partly-read. Came a point where I just didn't care what happened to the characters on the other side of the page, and I never turned the page to look. Try for some of the older books and authors—Hal Clement, Lester del Rey, Fredric Brown, C. M. Kornbluth, C. L. Moore.

In the visual media, Joss Whedon's Firefly is some of the best science fiction I've seen. > - Solaris (both Soviet and American remake) Also read the story. Or other books by Stanisław Lem. —Joel
