[Kirsten]

Just finished listening to Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

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

[Paul]

I just started Provenance, and I’m about 2/3 done with The Affinities. Last night I finished The Stars Are Legion.

[Scott]

I recently read:
The Chalk Man
The Girl With All the Gifts
Noir
The Call of Cthulhu

Now I'm reading The Outsider.

[Paul]

Finished The Affinities (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️), slogging my way through Provenance (not liking it as much as I did Leckie’s Ancillary trilogy), and I’m almost halfway through The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu which I am loving!

Love Lovecraft!!

Frost Fever by Jonathan Moeller

[Phillip]

I’m excited to start The Last Commander. The first book in the series was amazing.

[Jennifer]

I am reading The Boy on the Bridge

[Allan]

Finished Dreamsnake by Vonda McIntyre this morning and about to finish Altered Carbon. So I started Roadside Picnic by Arkady Strugatsky (sp?) on Audible and Not This August by CM Kornbluth. Got a couple others I can finish in the next few days, so I've got the group series read teed up.

[Thieryn]

@Allan what did you think of Dreamsnake? It's one I have had on my bookshelf for a while, and haven't had the motivation to prioritize it yet.

I finished the first book of the Bobiverse a few days ago, . It was my first audiobook and well worth it.

Currently I am reading Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, Welcome to Night Vale, and Watchmen

[MadProfessah]

I loved THE BOY ON THE BRISGE!! I hope he writes a 3rd one to make it a trilogy.

[Allan]

@Saha: As a Hugo/Nebula double winner, Dreamsnake got on my radar. You see more straight sci-fi than fantasy in that list, so it intrigued me. I did the audiobook as it was somewhat shorter, suited to my driving routine. I found it to be very solid fantasy, somewhat predictable, but with a few adult moments that lifted it and made it unique and distinct. Most fantasy of this type that I've read was written by men, so having a female author and protagonist was refreshing. I'd recommend it, and it's not a lengthy commitment like a lot of fantasy can be. Hope that helps!

[Kirsten]

I just started reading Starship Grifters by Robert Kroese last night -- laugh out loud funny!!!

[Mary]

Yeah, that is a comic series.

[Kirsten]

I'm loving it. The callouts to classic sci-fi plot tropes is so funny.

I read and loved all three books. I thought the prequel novel was the best.

[Kirsten]

Oh, didn't know there was a prequel. I'm definitely loving it. I do like it when authors poke fun at their own genre.

[Mary]

Rebel Fist by Jonathan Moeller

Reading the series in publication order works fine. Better than in-universe order, at that.

Really? I am enjoying it, but not sure if I like it as much as The Girl With All the Gifts

[Rafael]

I started to read the comic book V for Vendetta by Alan Moore.

[Tad]

I'm almost done with The Robots of Gotham by Todd McAulty and it's really good!

[Mary]

Tom by Dave Freer

[Connor]

Just finished Sirius and on to Catcher in the Rye.

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

I just kicked


The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi
Rating: 1 star
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Silvana]

Almost finished with Zoe's Tale and can't wait to start Revenant Gun which is out today.

[Scott]

Maeve by Jo Clayton

[Paul]

Finished The Grace of Kings and Luna: New Moon.

Started The Long Earth (Pratchett & Baxter) and Saturn Run (Sandford & Ctein).

[Allan]

Just finished Roadside Picnic after reading VALIS as part of the group series read. About 40% through Ancillary Justice and have started Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and Slan. I know, I have about 7 books going at the same time, that's just the way I read.

[MadProfessah]

@Paul SATURN RUN is surprisingly good!

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

I added these two books to my Currently Reading pile:


The Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child


Foundation by Isaac Asimov

[Teleport]

I just finished The Gunslinger by Stephen King and I'm working on 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami.

[Gary]

I finished reading Head On (Lock In #2) by John Scalzi. I am reading The Eye of the World (Wheel of Time Book #1) by Robert Jordan. I plan to read Across the River and into the Trees by Ernest Hemingway next.

[MadProfessah]

I just did a DNF on CJ Cherry DOWNBELOW STATION after slogging through about 200 of 500 pages.

[Clyde]

Whoa! That bad?
I have read "Downbelow Station" three times and still think it is one of the best SF novels ever. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

[Allan]

Watch out reading The Eye of the World! You will get hooked, then two years later, you'll wake up after finishing all 15 books! Really glad Sanderson finished it!

[CD]

I have started Blackfish City by Sam J. Miller.

[Allan]

Finished Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie last night, and will finish Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep tonight. About halfway through Van Vogt's Slan and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Inspiration for what to take up next has not hit me yet, although Dan Simmons' Song of Kali and Consider Phlebas are possibilities.

[Scott]

Song of Kali is great.

[Mary]

Tomb Howl by Jonathan Moeller

[MadProfessah]

@Clyde yeah I find that fascinating how different folks can have such disparate reactions to the same text. What other sci fi books do you like? I can’t believe you’ve rad DOWNBELOW STATION three times! I rarely ever re-read but I have re-read some of DUNE (Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse:Dune) three times.

My favorite sci fi author is Peter Hamilton (The Night’s Dawn trilogy).

I’m currently reading the last book in Justin Cronin’s THE PASSAGE trilogy, THE CITY OF MIRRORS.

[Brian]

Reading Poe's Gold Bug, then onto The Emperor's Blades by Brian Staveley.

[Scott]

I am reading Red Sister by Mark Lawrence, the monthly pick for my real life book club.

[Paul]

I’ve finished The Long Earth (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) and Sleeping Giants (⭐️⭐️⭐️); still working on Saturn Run, and started The Player of Games late last night.

[MadProfessah]

@paul what did you like about THE LONG EARTH?

[Silvana]

The Collapsing Empire.

I know I should be finishing Old Man's War series first before starting a new Scalzi series, but I really have to read this before the Hugos.

[Silvana]

How did you like Head On? Compared with Locked In?

Now your post makes sense. I read iit on my phone last night. Unfortunately it has a tendency to chop words from posts.

[Allan]

I know I'm being a dinosaur here but how do you quote someone and how do you insert book links?

[Allan]

Finished Song of Kali (Dan Simmons) & Slan (A.E. van Vogt) yesterday. Started in on The Martian Chronicles to quickly knock out that classic.
