Vonnielake asked for scifi and fantasy book recs the other day. You might want to take a look through there. My choices were:
Heinlein - The Moon is a Harsh Mistress Larry Niven - Tales of Known Space Orsen Scott Card - Ender's Game (ignore his politics. Ignore every book after this one) Neal Stephenson - Snow Crash (near future cyberspace) Frank Herbert - Dune (again, ignore all sequels) Joan D. Vinge - Catspaw David Brin - Sundiver Connie Willis - Doomsday Book Steve Miller and Sharon Lee - Partners in Necessity Catherine Asaro - The Last Hawk, Primary Inversion
I was rewatching the beginning of Rising this week too, and you're so right about the nervous tension Weir displays as the SGC dials Atlantis. I also love her comment to Rodney that he should calm down. She has a dry sense of humor, which leans toward the absurd.
