Which of These 4 CLASSIC Sci-Fi Books Should You Read?

I felt similarly when reading Revelation Space by Aleister Reynolds but the last 150 pages of that book made it all worthwhile

I think this one of the great works of Science Fiction for me this book was a nine and a half out of ten

my main issue with the book was that while I like the World building and the ideas I was never hooked by the plot

the trouble for me was that she didn't fill this setting that she painted with a storyline that I was as engaged in or with characters that I was is invested in

I found it to be a philosophically rewarding look at an individual's Journey as well as the trajectory of mankind. do I have any criticisms well for me I think the book could have benefited from some stronger female characters and at times I felt like I was being teased with information rather than being given actual pieces of a puzzle but overall I think this was a masterfully written work of Science Fiction and for me it was a 9 out of 10.
