Dune. It's really living up. I'm reading it for the first time :)

[Alexa]

Wow. To be reading Dune for the first time; I'm kind of envious!

[[deleted user]]

It's pretty amazing. I've been sucked in from almost the start, and things just keep getting better and better! I'm done the first book; taking it slow because I'm reading it with some friends [we're all reading it for the first time.]

[Scott]

I just finished Time Travelers Never Die.

[Jenny]

I'm on The Martian train. 5/5 stars easily. It's a new must-read.

I can't wait to read that one, Jenny. I've been reading Mistletoe Murder today. I'm visiting Boston and the weather here is horrible.

[Banner]

Reading Defenders. I'm really getting my fix on this one. 1/3 in and it's great.

[William]

Reading Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency but finding it a little tough going.

I went into it expecting another Hitch-Hiker's Guide and was disappointed. I think I might like it more if I read it again.

[William]

Hi Scott, yeah read hitchhikers quite a few years ago now but this is certainly a challenge. Does have some great writing but the main character seems to escape me.

[Jessie J]

Just finished two good ones:

Wicked good book. Gotta say I'm disappointed in Mark, though, he never tried once to make vodka out of all those potatoes.

[Megan]

In the midst of Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury.

[[deleted user]]

Well Dune definitely earns all that praise it gets. Really great book. Here's my review.

I started Promise of Blood, interesting beginning so far.

[Scott]

I haven't posted in awhile but some of the books I recently finished were:
Something Wicked This Way Comes, Christine, The Martian, and Code Zero.
Now I'm reading Stardust.

[Don]

Just finished Cauldron of Ghosts by david weber & Eric Flint.
It was a good read been following the "honorverse" for a while.

Currently reading "Like a mighty Army" also david weber
Like a lot of military scifi it has almost all of the tropes that populate the genre. eg. Hero never looses, Diplomacy is a foreign concept. Heavily relying on some type of tech being better than everyone elses.but I am only reading it because I am a completist. how ever bad a series gets I just read them in hopes they get better. This is not the case. The one thing about this series that bugs me the most is there is almost no character development in the books. Most characters are a one shot except the few leaders of the heros.

Just finished Prince of Fools! A very, very different book from any of the Broken Empire books. Here's my review

I'm on to The Garden of Stones, seems like stock fantasy but with some crazy creative worldbuilding so far.

[Bob]

In the middle of Enormity , by Nick Milligan.

[Sheron]

Loved Caliban's War by James S. A. Corey

[Rion]

I'm on chapter 6 of Spin. Besides starting Grass, I've been meaning to get around to starting The Martian as well. Glad to see more people recommending it. Seems to be a hot title recently.

[Jenny]

I'm listening to The Strain on audio- Ron Perlman is a fantastic narrator. I'm also still reading Dust. Even though I'm enjoying it, it's hard for me to find motivation to pick it up and finish it.

[Beezlebug (Rob)]

Reading Influx and listening to The Magicians. The first chapter of Influx almost made me put it down because it immediately jumped into scientific descriptions that felt like reading a high school science book.

[Scott]

I finished Stardust and now I'm on Mr. Mercedes.

[Andreas]

Just got my copy of cross-genre anthology Rogues. First story by Joe Abercrombie was awesome and so many are waiting!
Expect me to continuously editing my review.

[Larry]

I'm a few chapters into Cibola Burn, the fourth novel in THE EXPANSE universe. It's just as exciting and as well written as the first three novels in this series. I saw an announcement that there are now contracts for five (!) more books in the series. Normally, I would think that this is just too much ... but in this case, too much is just enough.

[Tad]

Just finished The Girl with All the Gifts by M.R. Carey. Great dystopia. Lives up to the hype.

[Scott]

Been reading Again, Dangerous Visions, but taking a break.

[[deleted user]]

I haven't read much sci fi lately, more of a fantasy fan to be honest. Only two sci fi books I've read recently are:



And right now I'm reading:

I'm 60 percent thru it and will finish it up tomorrow...can't put it down! This is my favorite space opera series of this decade--these guys are such talented writers--delighted to know there are more novels on the way...can hardly wait for the tv program to air (2015?)

[Andreas]

I'm currently reading last year's Best SF anthology - I write down my impressions here. Will take a while until I reach the last story, though. As usual, there are some great stories in it (like Pat Cadigan's "The Girl-Thing Who Went Out for Sushi") and some... not so good (worst, so far: Jay Lake's The Stars do not Lie).

[Kirsten]

I've been reading my first Kindle Unlimited "purchase" and listening to

[[deleted user]]

Just finished The Time Ships by Stephen Baxter. Absolutely amazing. Nominated for 7 major SFF awards and it deserved every bit of it. I normally don't even consider read spin-offs of classics like this is, but damn am I ever happy I bumped across it.

[Scott]

Started Battleground by Terry A. Adams, the recent follow-up to her 80s "D'neeran" duology.

[Kirsten]

I've been reading and listening to .

[Scott]

I've recently read Mr. Mercedes and Ex-Heroes. I was hoping Ex-Heroes would have been better.

Now I'm reading The Bottoms. I've been looking forward to this one.

[Kirsten]

I've been reading (and listening) to

[Susan]

I just finished The Magician's Land, the final book in Lev Grossman's Magicians trilogy. Most excellent! Before that I read Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie, which just won the Hugo for Best Novel, completing her sweep of a number of major awards. Next I'm into The Eye of the World (The Wheel of Time, Book 1) by Robert Jordan.

[Tabby]

Aliens by Alan Dean Foster & The Young Elite by Marie Lu!

[Kirsten]

I've been listening to . In other news, I read yesterday that HBO has picked up the MaddAddam series.

[Brendan]

Currently reading Gateway by Frederik Pohl. I'm absolutely loving it. Up next is The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester

[James]

Hello all,

New here--first post to the group.

Just read: Permanence by Karl Schroeder good, but I thought overlong in places.

Currently reading: Consorts of Heaven by Jaine Fenn AMAZING, so far. I love her stories and delectable prose.

Next up: Emissaries from the Dead by Adam Troy Castro.

[Kirsten]

I started reading yesterday after my Kindle Fire died. RIP.

[Chris]

New to the group - recently finished Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut, and currently doing a quick read of Chocky by John Wyndham. Next up will be either 1984 or the Dispossessed by Ursula K LeGuin... finished Left Hand of Darkness a few months ago and thought it was great.

[Kirsten]

Continued listening to (Overdrive) and reading (library) yesterday.

[Scott]

I, Robot (real life book club read)

[Paula]

I am on my second read of .
I love this book it is hilarious and I can see myself
reread again in the future.

[Kirsten]

Just started

[Kirsten]

Just finished reading Arcadian Genesis by Greig Beck. It's not that long, a short novella or a long short story, take your pick. But it's a thrilling introduction to the characters and the series. Sort of a Special Forces X-Files.

Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Bob]

I just finished (Ender's Game prequel)

Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Bob]

Paula,

Yes, was awesome and I've read it a couple of times also. Did you know that they sold the movie rights to Ridley Scott?
