Science Fiction

More fantasy, but reading the Abhorson series by Garth Nix. Excellent series.

I am working my way through Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said by Philip K. Dick. It's not a long book but it's really slow going, it's just so friggin weird that I have to put it down every few pages and just stop to absorb whatever the heck it was I just read. It's neat, as a drug user myself, to read a passage where it seems normal and then just randomly goes off into a 3 page rant about his weird racial ideas, and I just know he took a big fat hit right there writing it, sometime before I was born.

I'm almost done the Lords of Uncreation which is book 3 of The Final Architecture. Quite the epic space opera. Then I will pick up Wool as season 1 of the TV series will be concluded.

Just started "The City We Became" by N.K. Jemisen. It took a minute for me to get my bearings, but I'm really digging the concept

For We Are Many Bobiverse book 2

I'm on Tiamats Wake in the Expanse series, love it

After being a sci-fi nerd for a long time, I want to read through some of the classics that inspire it. So I'm reading The Epic of Gilgamesh, with Lucian's true history next.

Sounds pretentious I know but it's pretty cool seeing where some stuff originated from.

Anyone have any I should add the the list then let me know.

Just started reading Hyperion by Dan Simmons.

I just finished up a first time read of Wheel of Time series. Solid 8 months of reading but 100% worth it. Mat Cauthon is my second favorite character ever written I think.

I'm currently reading Chibola Burn, the forth book in The Expanse series. Really enjoying it, specially since the third one was my least favorite of the first three. So it feels good to be loving a book in the series again.

I would recommend the series to fans of somewhat believable sci-fi.

Roadside Picnic by brothers Strugatsky.

It's really fun, with a cool premise. It's a classic though. Basically: Aliens come to Earth for a fraction of second and dump their garbage there. The places of impact are basically turned into paranormal zones and people are actively trying to scavenge the wonders of the civilisation so alien to us we couldn't even catch a glimpse of what they are.

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Wild book. 3rd in the series. Not finished yet but the first two were incredible.

Terry Pratchett's books on Discworld 📖

I just started reading "The Curse of Chalion" bu Lois McMaster Bujold, following a rather specific fantasy itch that was most recently scratched by "The Goblin Emperor" (by Sarah Monette) and before that by the Valdemar series, particularly the Arrows of the Queen and Winds of Fate series. I hope it delivers!

Wool was great! The rest of the series too. I've been watching the show and I think they did a pretty good adaptation with it.

Currently reading "This is How you Lose the Time-war". Just started it but it's an interesting concept and different from my usual sci-fi reads

I'm rereading, after along time, Druss the Legend.

Once I'm done with that I'll work my through all of Gemmels other books.

I'm working my way through the Red Rising series. Very interesting plot and lovable characters. Brutal violence though.

I'm reading the "Starship's mage" series by Glynn Stewart, really fun boks, and still after having read 14 books it's still really a fun read :)

I DNFed Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan. I had high hopes because the concept was reminiscent of Philip K Dick's stories but I found the book to be a confusing slog with characters seemingly pulled from nowhere and with the plot muddling along with coincidences and revelations. There are a few gems of ideas in there, just takes too long to unpack.

I’m currently hooked on the Dresden Files, by no means perfect literary master pieces but damn if I’m not completely hooked. I’m averaging one-two books of the series a week right now lol

Also just finished Revival by Stephen King as an audio book. I’m a big Stephen King fan, but I have to say I did not find this book to be that scary and the build up was looooong even by his standards.

State Tectonics, third book of the Centenal Cycle by Malka Older. It's not bad so far, but it feels like too artificial. Like the setting doesn't make much sense, the author just wanted to play with it. Yes, same applies to the first two books. I liked the first one much more to be honest.

I'm reading Thrawn: Traitor (Thrawn Canon books #3). Not the greatest series I've ever read by any means but I need a break from the Stormlight Archives Ave my library had no wait on these.

Re-reading Ready Player One. I want to forget how bad the sequel is and how they butchered all character development at the beginning of the book.

I'm currently reading American Psycho and The Two Towers. Both can be slow at times, so it's nice to be able to read one of them and when it gets boring read the other one

I forgot I read Wool, that was a good book! Currently reading nonfiction (Outlive by Peter Attia) but recently read Axiom's End and enjoyed it.

I'm reading The Lady of the Lake by Andrzej Sapkowski. It is the fifth book of The Witcher's series

The Fifth science by Exurb1a. It's a collection of short stories in a shared universe. Love it so far. Author has a good youtube channel if you're into that.

I'm re-reading "Scions of Humanity" (AEON 14) while I wait for the next book to be released (Galactic Front). You can start reading books from the AEON 14 for free at Rika Mechanized

The Ark Royal series by Christopher Nuttel.

Nuttel is rare because most series have an issue of everyone becoming overpowered. He has created enemies far stronger and weaker than humanity, he focusses on how an enemy has a tactical edge.

I find Military Sci-Fi a really relaxing read and it's largely written by ex forces, so gives a really interesting insight into how they are structured and think.

I know I'm late to reading them and I'm not sure if graphic novels count here, but "kill six billion demons" is a fantastic series with a unique art style and direction that I genuinely cannot get enough of

Though it might be more science fantasy than science fiction I guess?
