One of my friends is generally derisive of sf.  I think that she has been 
exposed to too many "Creature Features" to take the genre seriously.  
Recently, however she agreed to read one sf novel of my choice to "Give
the stuff a chance".  I suggested "Lord of Light", which she is reading
now.

My question is this -- Was that a wise choice for a representative of all
that is good in the field?  If not what would you suggest to your friends
given the same opportunity?
