Welcome to /c/ScienceFiction
December book club canceled. Short stories instead!
We are a community for discussing all things Science Fiction. We want this to be a place for members to discuss and share everything they love about Science Fiction, whether that be books, movies, TV shows and more. Please feel free to take part and help our community grow.
I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.
Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)
At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?
I'm on book 5 of the Wheel of Time on Audible. I hope the TV series keeps going but it sounds like a lot of people think it's meh.
Just started the Vorkosigan Saga. It's okay. It's growing on me, but I don't think it's anything to write home about. I'll stick it out through the first book and see how it goes.
Which book are you starting with? You'll get a very different vibe depending on whether you're starting with Dreamweaver's Dilemma, Shards of Honor, or The Warrior's Apprentice.
It's a long series with a super wide range. If you like Warrior's Apprentice, you'll probably like most of the series.
Started with shards of honor. Any recommendations on which one I should read next?
I was about to pick up Seveneves next. And then come back to the Vorkosigan Saga.
Is this just for sci-fi or books in general? In July I didn't read any sci fi, just fantasy stuff.
I started Mistborn two weeks ago... It's awesome!
I’m coming up to the crescendo (hopefully) of Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson. I can’t say that I’ve loved it as much as some of his previous work but it’s got 150 pages left to change that.
tower by bae myung-hoon, early days yet.
Last few I've read recently:
Just started Infinity Gate today, actually - not too far in yet, but it'll go quick.
Oh crap! Potty training by Jamie Glowacki
Just started Bloom by Wil Mccarthy.
I’m currently reading Sword and Citadel, second half of The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.
