Here you go.

You're not autistic, SF tends to be both less formulaic and authors seem more likely to try new concepts even if their styles don't change much. This chart tries to organize it by "eras", but more to the point I think reading all of this will give you a pretty good sampler of different types of SF.

I thought about adding a 1-2 sentence review/summary to the chart I made, but text just takes up a lot of space. I'm considering maybe doing a few author/subgenre charts with some text; I think a "general" chart with reviews is too much. Attached only has 30 books and I don't think there's a good way to get even a sentence or two in on each book.

Although the chart neglects Ender's Game, which I think is another good entry-level SF novel, and Wolfe. I'd recommend The Fifth Head of Cerberus for starting with Wolfe.

Reposting since it got some positive feedback last thread.

I hadn't heard of this. Is it post-Galactic North?

Alright, Time Traveler's Wife is relegated to a future "SF Your Girlfriend Might Like" chart in place of Blindsight. Also switched around John Carter and Lensman based on reflection about others' likely opinions.
