In your case, I'd totally recommend [i]Moby Dick[/i].
And Frank Herbert's [i]Dune[/i]. Probably the best science fiction novel ever wrote. And, in my opinion, the only science fiction novel that can be classified as literature.

But I know the story of MD. I watched MD with Patrick Stewart and other versions of MD. I'd rather read something that's a 100% new to me. And Dune, Zardos said it's kinda like Star Wars and I'm not a big fan of Star Wars.

Edited by albinomachina: 7/1/2019 10:26:23 PMStar Wars stole a lot of stuff from [i]Dune[/i] but they're nothing alike. [i]Dune[/i] is a very multi-layered book that deals with a lot of subjects on a lot of different levels. It's about religion, government, ecology, drug addiction and more. Star Wars touched on some of those themes with Vader, but it's a lot less "intellectual" than [i]Dune[/i] is. I really can't recommend it enough. If you like any type of sci-fi at all you should at least give it a shot. It's probably the most important science fiction novel ever wrote.
