Have you ever read this?

I know you like SF, and this is both obscure and unique. I've been
asked to give suggestions to someone for SF and Fantasy books.
Crowley's other notable book, *Little, Big* tops the list for Fantasy.
Another favorite low fantasy is *Tuck Everlasting*, and also a crazy
little book called *In Watermelon Sugar*.
Other SF books I'll mention are the *Foundation trilogy*, the *Dune
tetralogy*, and *The Space Merchants*.

Other great ones are those by the Clintoons, Obummer, or d'Oprah...

Although those tomes might best be described as "alternative history", a branch of SF...

I'm surprised that you wasted the opportunity to recommend
*Anthem*.

No. If I ever see it at a used book place I will likely pick it up.

My fav author is Fred Pohl. The 'Heechee' series is 6 books which should
be read in proper order. Similarly the 'Eschaton' trilogy. 'Black Star
Rising' is an excellent singleton.
