Science Fiction

I'm currently reading The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott. It's part of the High Republic saga of Star Wars, and I'm really enjoying it so far :D

It was quite a challenge to read a book in English for the first time with Light of the Jedi (the first book of the series). But I feel like I've gotten way better and can now understand more while reading faster.

After this, I'm planning on reading The Prince of Milk by Exurb1a. Which I have wanted to read for a long time.

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?

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. First forray into his books. So far very enjoyable.

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.

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

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.

I am rereading Malazan Book of the Fallen. Just started the fourth book, House of Chains.

The start of this book is the hardest for me to get through. The first couple of chapters are really boring to me and it's only after

spoiler

Karsa is captured and Torvald Nom is introduced

that I start getting into the story. The rest of the book is phenomenal, of course.

Edit: damn, is there no other spoiler option that just greys out the words?

I'm reading Nemesis by Isaac Asimov, slow (not much time to read) but steady.

Terry Pratchett's books on Discworld 📖

Just finished books 1-7 of The Starsea Cycle by Kyle West. Pretty good stuff, kind of a mix of sci-fi and fantasy. Looking forward to the upcoming release of book 8.

In the meantime I'm reading the Red Rising Saga by Pierce Brown. Currently on book 4 with 2 more to go. Really enjoying it, but kinda feeling ready for something a little more toward the hard-scifi area.

Once I'm done with those I think I'll go reread A Fire Upon the Deep by Vinge, I think it's probably my favorite book and it's been a few years since I read it.

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky

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

I tried buying the wool omnibus on his website and couldn’t checkout…I’m gonna try again now, thanks for the reminder

Just started The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel, too early to see if I like it yet. I’ve got some pretty high hopes though, Station Eleven was absolutely fantastic!

I just finished the Watchmaker of Filigree Street series, and loved that as well! IMO, the second was better than the first, but don’t read the second without reading the first since you need the context.

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.

Broken Earth Trilogy. I finished reading the entire Wool series many years back and gave it a 3.5/5. Really strong start but unfortunately the pacing for the rest of it wasn't quite to my liking.

I've been reading Carrion Comfort. Really cool mystery story with people that can mind control. You're always trying to figure out what the Game is and what are these pawns accomplishing.

Its a little long winded but Dan Simmons can write a compelling story.
Def more Horror than Science Fiction.
