Currently reading 11-22-63. Pretty bloody grim and depressing in places, but good enough to hold my attention.

Finished Locked In by John Scalzi not long prior. Great thought experiment considering it was written long before covid too.

I'm 6 books into expanse series, and I've kind of lost steam with it. Might need a break. Read bobiverse in full just before it. First children of time book was good but didn't know if I wanted to read book 2.

Also loved project hail Mary and the dark Forest/three body trilogy.

Any other suggestions?

Im halfway through The color of magic by Terry Pratchett, I've read a few other discworld books but I thought it was time to start the first book an try to read them all in the "right" order.

Project Hail Mary. Paid more than I liked for a single book but quickly found it is one of my favourite books of all time!

Frank Herbert's Dune

Just finished Leviathan Wakes today. Can't wait for my Amazon delivery of Caliban's War.

I'm about half way through The Fall of Hyperion. It's great

Wool by hugh howey

Wife and I watched silo and enjoyed it so I thought I'd read the books.

You can buy the books DRM free off his website https://hughhowey.com/books/wool/

Make sure you get all 3. Wool shift and dust.

The Bobiverse books were great. Can't wait for more. I've been reading Expeditionary Force which is where the Skippy's come from. Also Rythm of War by Brandon Sanderson.

I'm currently in the middle of Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I'm only about 15% of the way through so I don't have a great picture of what is going on or what it is about yet. It seems like the main premise is about an archeologist who has been working on an excavation of an ancient species on a distant planet for an extremely long period of time that likely has far reaching implications about the universe. I've definitely never read anything similar to this in the past.

The other book I plan on reading (listening to) is The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers of which I know basically nothing about. I tend to listen to a book whenever I can't read such as when I'm driving or bathing and then read at times that I can like before sleeping. I find it is a good system to get through 2 books at once.

Neuromancer, count zero, blade runner (do androids dream…), burning chrome. Lots of cyberpunk stuff lately

Just finished the first three books for Red Rising. Really loved it. Not sure if I want to start the next part of the series. I just want the main character to be happy. Can't take more of his torture.

Currently listening to The Dark Tower 7 and about to start The Fall of Hyperion. I’m new to The Hyperion Cantos, but the first book hooked me so I’m looking forward to diving back into it.

Children of Time - It's fantastic. Easily digestable space fair about giant intelligent spiders in their war with ants. Humans are involved but I care little for them. Not going to lie, I'm mainly there for the chapters narrated by the spiders and they are expectional.

Currently reading The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi.

Just started Ancillary Justice by Anne Leckie and seems great so far. I have no idea what is going on with how people are gendered in the various languages but I'm looking forward to puzzling it out.

I was re-reading The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Heinlein, which I read about 15 years ago and really enjoyed (even bought it for a friend as a gift). On the second read through... I found it much less entertaining (though the connection between the computer and the current LLM/AI hype is interesting), got about half-way through and basically stopped. I probably won't finish it, which is kind of sad. Oh well, tastes change I guess.

"Roadside Picnic" is incredible. The Sttugatskys were prolific Soviet SF writers, and well worth a look; "The Doomed City" is another banger.

I just finished Project Hail Mary and just started The Passage.

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's been a while since I read anything of his and I'm loving it.

Currently on book 4 of the Horus Heresy. I read a lot of sci-fi and somehow missed out on the 40k universe so I'm trying to make up for it.

Just about to start Memories of Ice, book 3 of the Malazan Book of the Fallen.

I'm on the second book of Hugh Howey 's Silo Trilogy. Loved the show, loving the books even more

I’m finally starting House of Leaves with a book club from work. I have no idea what to expect other than weirdness, and I am very excited!

I'm stuck in the third trisolaris book. Can't get into it really.

The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage

It's a surprisingly engaging read, even though the events occurred in the 80s. Computer security was non-existent.

Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers.

Such amazing, lovely sci-fi that touches on so many topics.

Last one is based in a really nice intergalactic truck stop. Or like an airport hotel maybe.

And I didn't realise it until my second read-through, but it's basically all about cross-species accessibility/accomodations.

Really beautiful stuff.

Currently on book 3 of the Bobiverse. Most fun, zany scifi I've read in a while.

Edit: Seveneves was fun too, currently also reading Termination Shock. We really need those "earth suits" I think ...

Finishing off Abbadons Gate. Managed to get back into it after many months long break.

Just started player of games and I'm really enjoying it! My first Iain Banks book, but definitely not my last.

Listening to Becky Chambers' novellas right now. Finished "To be taught if fortunate" and "A Psalm for the wild-built", gonna do "A Prayer for the Crown-shy" soon.

Also started the Murderbot diaries by Marth Wells and finished the first book so far.

We are Bob is a great series, doesn't got something that fine in a time.

About halfway through Lords of Uncreation, the third book in the Final Architecture trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

They are to space opera what his children series is to hard science fiction. It has imaginative aliens that resist monoculture stereotypes and ominous, seemingly implacable foes. The technology never descends to Star Wars' (for better or worse), but standard tropes like FTL and gravitic control are all fundamental assumptions. However, once those assumptions are made, everything that follows is consistent and reasonable to the setting.

The cast is diverse, interesting and entertaining and the pacing is nothing short of breakneck.

Currently rereading City of Golden Shadow, the first book of the Otherland series by Tad Williams.

On vacation and just powered through The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi, Children of Memory - the latest in the Children of Time series - by Adrian Tchaikovsky and Terraformers by Annalee Newitz. All excellent

I just finished The Terraformers by Annalee Newitz. Its so fucking good, amazing worldbuilding, story and message. It really explores all the potential interesting ways that you can envision different future worlds in ways that other SciFi often doesnt. I've never read anything like this before.

I recently read "A Memory Called Empire" by Arkady Martine. It's the first book I've read by her and her writing style got me good. Her background as an historian shines through in the Empire she crafted. She won a hugo or nebula for the book but I can't be bothered to look it up at the moment.

Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett. It's my first time reading his work and I am absolutely loving his sense of humor.

I'm on book 13 of wheel of time and am planning to do a re-read of the extinction cycle again after I finished wheel of time, I just love those books

The laundry files, a series by Charles Stross. He's brilliant and so precise with the details that even if it's science fiction it feels SO real.
