10: Contact, by Carl Sagan.
The fact that this book is only ranked 10th does not mean it isn’t worth reading. These are the top best ever, and any and all books listed here are either Pulitzer-Prize winners or bestsellers. Or we just really really liked it here in the FunFiction group. Carl Sagan’s clear, wonderfully insightful prose is reason alone to grab a copy. The description of the Message alone is a spectacularly sapient essay on exo-linguistics. A novel which teeters between the genres of hard sci-fi and scientific paper, it will surely be appreciate those among you who are especially keen on a solid scientific base.
