Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. Was a recommendation on the R site.

Complex, eon spanning, hard sci-fi. I'm loving it!

Working my way through some Hugo winners past— reading A Canticle for Liebowitz by Walter M Miller.

Wool was great. And the show was good too. You can basically watch the first season after finishing Wool, if you’d like.

I’m reading He Who Fights With Monsters but I’m going to dig through this thread and find a good scifi novel to read next!

Reading Noor right now. Very enjoyable and it will be quick read.

I've been working through The Expanse books, and have just started Leviathan Falls.

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.

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.

Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson. Book 3 in the Words of Radiance series.

Currently reading Foundation and Earth by Asimov, I absolutely loved the original trilogy so I’ve been reading through the sequels and plan on going back to the prequels after. In my opinion the sequels have a big shift in pacing and sort of the way that the plot develops… not sure how I feel about that. On one hand it is easier to keep up with with less characters, but on the other it feels like the scale of things is much smaller. Trying to not spoil anything. The series is a fantastic read nevertheless!

A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine.

I really loved the first book in the series, A Memory Called Empire, but I find the second one harder to get through. The writing really gets into the protagonist's head, and with all the stress she's in, it gets... claustrophobic, I guess, for me. I wish there was a bit more focus on the plot about the cool mysterious aliens.

I’m working my way through both the Murderbot Diaries (just started Network Effect) and the Rivers of London series (just finished Broken Homes, though this series is more urban fantasy). Both and very enjoyable!

"The complete robot" by Isaac Asimov.

I'm currently nostalgia-reading Robert Rankin's Dance Of The Voodoo Handbag but that's more far fetched fiction than sci-fi. Silly, entertaining and lots of tall tales. I'm also reading The Quantum Magician by Derek Künsken. I was hoping for it to be the start of a good series of books to read over the summer but it's not very good. I will probably not bother with the rest of the 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 listened to the 2nd and 3rd books of the Murderbot series on a car ride recently. I had read them before, but it was the first time that he did. I really enjoyed laughing with him.

Based on the posts in this thread, I see a lot of overlap between urban fantasy fans and science fiction fans. With the exception of Lord of the Rings, I've never cared much for high fantasy, but I've really enjoyed the urban fantasy series I've read. If anyone is interested, I've enjoyed...

1. The Laundry Files by Charles Stross
2. The City We Became and The World We Make by MK Jemisin
3. The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher
4. The Sandman Slim series by Richard Kadrey
5. The Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch
6. The Stranger Times series by C.K. McDonnell

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

I am currently reading "Wool - Silo, book 1" by Hugh Howey. It's an incredible post-apocalyptic story about a fully functioning society that resides inside a massive silo. Nobody can venture outside due to the toxic environment outside that make survival impossible, even with protective clothing.

Just finished The Dispossessed, by Ursula Le Guin and going to look for a library where I can buy the next book in the Hain cycle !

I just finished up a first time read of Wheel of Time series. Solid 8 months of reading but 100% worth it. Mat Cauthon is my second favorite character ever written I think.

Just finished Inversions by Iain M Banks. Classic series. Stupendous world building.

I am reading currently Snow Crash. A great example how pioneers of a genre seem to lose their originality over time, but the book hasn't changed, everyone else has just copied it to death.

Previously I read some if the Culture series and got surprised by the genuine atrocities popping up in them. The books were interesting and the horrible things had a reason to be there, but I just became overwhelmed.

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.

Just started reading Hyperion by Dan Simmons.

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

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

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

I bought the two Asimov sets of the Robot books and Foundation books, but still need to finish The Stranger Times (Urban fantasy) before delving into that. Read The Eyes of the Void by Adrian Tchaikovsky before that.

Not science fiction, but I’m loving Carl Sagans “The Demon-Haunted World”. He really was a brilliant dude.

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.

Terry Pratchett's books on Discworld 📖

Just started "The City We Became" by N.K. Jemisen. It took a minute for me to get my bearings, but I'm really digging the concept

Currently on The Hydrogen Sonata of a The Culture marathon.
