Science Fiction

Working on The Name of the Wind and then next up is Death’s End.

I just finished "peripheral" and "agency" by William Gibson. So much better than (already fun) tv show.

Currently I'm re-reading some of early Neal Stephenson, starting with "the diamond age, or young lady's illustrated primer". I've originally read it while still learning English, so now I can fully appreciate not just the story but Stephenson's wordcraft.

I have a couple things on deck:

• Light from Uncommon Stars - Ryka Aoki - I've seen this one recommended several times, and finally decided to give it a spin.
• 36 Streets - T.R. Napper - A more niche title, but something to hopefully give me a bit of a noir fix.

Fall; or Dodge in Hell by Neal Stephenson

I just grabbed Kurtz Vonnegut's Welcome to the Monkeyhouse and Palm Sunday and it's pretty cool.

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

I'm currently reading A Mist of Grit and Splinters, book five of Graydon Saunders Commoweal series. The first book, The March North, was incredibly confusing until I figured out his writing style but I really like the series after that.

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.

Currently stumbling through book 5 of Gaunt's Ghosts. I need to work reading back into my schedule again.

Outland by Dennis Taylor

Several, in tandem. The one I'm enjoying the most right now is The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity, by David Graeber, and David Wengrow.

I'm on the last book of the riftwat-series by Raymond E Feist. Truly a masterpiece, even some 30-odd books into it.

I'm reading Children of Ruin, the second book of the Children of Time series. I blasted through the first book in less than a week. First time I've read Tchaikovsky and I love it.

Otherland - Tad Williams.

I just finished Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke and it was great!

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.

Asimov sagas

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

The Black Sun books by Rebecca Roanhorse. Technically fantasy more than Sci-fi, but really refreshing and well written.

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 rereading, after along time, Druss the Legend.

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