Io9's the Best "Entry Level" Science Fiction Books to Convert Your Friends

io9 is great blog about science, technology and popculture related to them.
Read article in the source which can teach you how to convert your friends to the only right and valuable literature - SF ;)
There are some fantasy books too - book authors often write books of both genres and love to "easier" fantasy can evolve in love to hard sf - it was so in my case.
