Yes, I'm still alive . Well, lately I got a hint about a series of good science fiction books that I'd like to forward. If you are looking for really good and exciting science fiction that has nothing to do with Star Trek, you might like the Ender series by Orson Scott Card. The first book I read of that series was 'Enders Game'. At the moment I read another book of that series which I love as well, so I guess you can start where you want, though I'd say you should start with 'Enders Game' as you will learn who Ender is and a lot about his life that you should know before reading the other books.

If you have a suggestion about what to read, please hand in an article describing the book(s) for others. I'll just have a look at your article before I make it visible on the site.
