[Brian]

I'm reading The Obelisk Gate (Broken Earth #2) by N.K Jemison. Pretty good so far.

[Deb]

Just finished by Neal Asher

I was quite disappointed in it, loved the world building but not much else.

[Megan]

I'm reading The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu. I'm still fairly early in and enjoying it.

And on the not-genre front, I'm very very slowly working my way through The Guermantes Way by Proust, and just started Blasphemy: New and Selected Stories by Sherman Alexie, and it is blowing my mind.

[Kirsten]

I recently started reading The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

[Brick]

Enjoying some Terry Pratchett, The Truth while sneaking reads of The Walking Dead, Compendium 3.

[AMD]

Currently reading Espero, the latest in the Silver Ships series from SH Jucha. He really writes some fun stuff to read! I recently finished A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers and it was very good. I am looking forward to reading the second book in her series Wayfarers, entitled A Closed and Common Orbit.

[Rafael]

I am reading a brazilian edition of Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.

I hope you like it! It's one of my all-time favorites! I would wager that I've read it at least 50 times.. and I know that I've given away 22 copies of the book.

Classic Sci-Fi in my opinion! Jules Verne is one of the greats!

I just finished Pandora's Star, I don't think Peter Hamilton knows how to write anything short (haha) I slogged through Pandora's Star because it's rated as one of the best Space Opera's, but it was hard to make it through the seemingly endless exposition.

[Clyde]

Just finished King of Thieves by Evan C. Currie and World's End by Upton Sinclair.

Now reading We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor and The Falls: A Diving Universe Novel by Kristine Kathryn Rusch.

Next up The Idea Factory: Bell Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation by Jon Gertner and The Rook by Daniel O'Malley.

I liked Pandora's Star quite a bit, but it was in the second book I started to get weary.

Right now I'm reading Solaris Rising 2: The New Solaris Book of Science Fiction, so far another strong anthology from this publisher.

(Incidentally the first volume did have a short story by Hamilton!)

Pandora's Star was interesting insofar as the novelty of ideas, i.e. rejuvenation, the interconnected wormhole travel system, the organic borg (best way I can think to describe the aliens) the space elves, but I found it hard to connect in any meaningful way to the characters, which made it hard for me to go beyond the surface of neat ideas.

[Rafael]

I am reading a brazilian edition of a non-fiction book about mummies, The Mummy Congress: Science, Obsession, and the Everlasting Dead by Heather Pringle.

[David]

I am reading the third of five novels included in "American Science Fiction 1956-1958" - Who? by Algis Budrys. An interesting read.

I think I connected mostly with Ozzie and Justine. And I know a lot of people think Paula Myo is cold but I find her fascinating. The dilemma she faces in the second part is a very interesting twist as well.

[David]

I am reading The Door Into Summer by Robert Heinlein. Very interesting and entertaining time travel book, which apparently took only 13 days to write. Not as good as All You Zombies or By His Bootstraps, though.

[Deb]

Recently finished and another old classic or two

Really loved Necropolis, my favourite science, biological :)
It was amazing to see HOW dramatically the other two have dated, small things like everyone in On the Beach smokes....

[Kirsten]

I just started listening to The Butterfly Garden

[C. John]

Just started an issue of Air Wonder Stories via the internet.

[Najaf]

planing to finish the hainish cycle.

[Lena]

Reading Daemon by Daniel Suarez, excellent so far :)

[Evelina | AvalinahsBooks]

I've currently finished my most recent reads (ignore my currently reading shelf with 7 items...) But! I've got multiple items on the list to read next :) do you guys have any ideas which one I should start with? Cause I seriously have 17 new ones :D they're here (it's a blog post, don't be afraid of the link :) ):
https://goo.gl/J8m3Y0

Any ideas on what I should start?

[Scott]

I recently read The Dark Half. This was my 50th King book read.

I also read The Hunter.

[Scott]

I started Dark Matter a few days ago. It is really good so far.

[Onur]

I'm reading Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. It's started to interest me after 40 pages but i have to admit i know very little about characters, factions, organizations, planets etc.

[AMD]

Allora by S. H. Jucha. Book seven in the Silver Ships series. I've enjoyed all the previous books in the series and I'm enjoying this one too. Enough to read it in about four hours.

[MadProfessah]

I love me some Paula Myo! I'm pretty confident she is Peter Hamilton's most popular character because she has appeared in many of his books, including multiple series.

[Leonie]

I really like Paula Myo too. Fascinating character :)

[Larry]

Going down into my basement, I pulled out Terry Carr's The Best Science Fiction of the Year 1 anthology from 1976 and thought I would see whether the stories that I loved so much from that era have held up. This afternoon, I read the first story, Occam's Scalpel by Theodore Sturgeon. Just wonderful!

[Tad]

I'm just starting Blood Enemies by Susan R. Matthews. It's been a long time since I've read a Jurisdiction novel so I'm really looking forward to this one.

[Kirsten]

I've been listening to Ancillary Justice

[Scott]

I have finished Dark Matter, The Boy Who Drew Monsters, and Kill Switch.

Now I am reading Armada.

[Scott]

I'm reading an old collection of Star Trek episode adaptations by James Blish. They are pretty fun.

[Rafael]

I am reading A travessia do Snark (The Cruise of the Snark) by Jack London.

[CD]

Dark Matter is my current SF selection.

I would love to read those but they are really hard to get hold of.

Alan Dean Foster wrote a similiar series based on the animated series.

[Brandon]

Check used bookstores or websites for the Blish and Foster adaptations. There are tons of copies floating around out there.

[Mary]

Discovery by Karina Fabian

[Clyde]

Just finished Neptune's Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal, Agent Zigzag: The True Wartime Story of Eddie Chapman: Lover, Betrayer, Hero, Spy, and The Flame Bearer.
Now getting back to the SF world with The Gripping Hand and Traveler of Worlds: Conversations with Robert Silverberg.

[Tad]

I just finished Pawn by Timothy Zahn and loved it!

Still reading Blood Enemies by Susan R. Matthews. Hope to finish it in a day or 2.

Last time I looked on websites the Blish were expensive with the addition of killer shipping charges :0(
Living where I do bricks and mortar books stores are not an option.
I will keep an eye out next time I am on holiday.

[Megan]

Just now, my SF reading is Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor

[Kirsten]

I received A Door Into Ocean by Joan Slonczewski as my interlibrary loan and started it earlier this week. Great world building.

[Scott]

Returned to an author I read a lot of when I was young--Alan Dean Foster--with Bloodhype.

[CD]

I am finally getting around to reading Ready Player One.

[Gary]

I finished The Lies of Locke Lamora and am reading American Gods currently.
