Science Fiction

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.

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'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 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 almost done the Powder Mage trilogy, starting the third book now. It's good, the author is a little less grim than Joe Ambercrombie but similar style if you're looking for a new series.

Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds. I’m about 3/4 of the way through, and it’s been very interesting thus far! Definitely has not gone where I thought it was gonna go, which is cool.

If you haven’t read it I won’t give any spoilers, but I was fascinated by the similarities to The Expanse in the beginning. They definitely go different places, but I can feel Reynolds influence on James Corey. Surprised I haven’t seen anybody mention this before.

Anyways, I read House of Suns before this and probably like that more, but Pushing Ice is quite good. Should I start the Revelation Space series next?

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's might be more science fantasy than science fiction

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

Outland by Dennis Taylor

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

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

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.
