This is an updated version of the original article, with comment, descriptions and additional novels added. It is an entertaining discussion and listing of more than 130 science fiction novels, dubbed by Darrell Bain as his "Most Readable (and re-readable) Science Fiction Novels". His selections have been culled from more than 10,000 science fiction novels read over his lifetime, beginning at age twelve. Almost anyone who loves the genre is bound to find at least a few great books listed here they have missed for one reason or another, or perhaps reminded of ones they've read and would like to see back on their bookshelves.
