_Blood_Music_ is one of those classics that every fan of sci-fi should read
(imho). It's hard to say more about it that what Brett already said without
getting too spoilerish, but it's a truly fantastic story and very well
written.
Speaking of those classics that every sci-fi fan should read, if we had to
come up with a list of 10 (or 50 or 100) sci-fi books or series that are
must-reads, what would we as a group put on it? And should the Uplift books
count as one series, or as two?

mail...)
