Science Fiction

I'm currently reading Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey, which is the first book of the Expanse series. I haven't watched the TV series, since I wanted to dive into the books without previous knowledge.

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

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.

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.

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.

House of Leaves. Although I'm struggling because I haven't read a physical book in years and I can't bring it everywhere like I can my Leaf 2.

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 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?

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

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.

I've finished Wool in the middle of Silo season 1. I was wondering what might a regular viewer think of Shift? (I think that's the second of the trilogy)

I enjoyed the more sentimental moments between our main character and Mechanical, but preferred in the show that the Mayor was given more depth.

Currently I'm reading the Space Odyssey series by Arthur C. Clark
