Eric Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I'm currently mid-way through Isaac Asimov's Robots series, specifically on The Robots of Dawn. It's interesting to see how the lens of science fiction has shifted from the early 1900's to the near-21st century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick the Rogue Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Reading through Mediations by Marcus Aurelius for the second time, good stoicism how to. A philosophy I find useful. Also reading Occultex book Two: Necromancers on Drugs by Jason Murphy of modern rogue (youtube) fame. Basically urban fantasy popcorn, it lighthearted and occasionally horrifying, I recommend.

Oorah Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Mistborn series. Such a good read. Fun magic system based around metals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I'm plugging back through the Honor Harrington series by David Weber, maybe 25% of the way through so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcticus Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Presently I'm on Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett. It's great so far. It's a cyberpunk story set in a fantasy world. Next on the list is Jade War by Fonda Lee, which I have high hopes for. From what I've heard, it's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon meets the Godfather.

Basil_Bottletop Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I need to pick up a new book on my audiobook app. I finished Agatha Christie the other day. Surprisingly, I actually finished it while not driving or working. I opted to listen to it while watching the NFL Draft on mute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxon Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Another big thumbs up to the Gentlemen Bastards series from me. Just finished reading the third installment of Joe Abercromie's newest trilogy, Age of Madness. Straight up gritty low magic fantasy, this one moving his world into an industrialization time period. Very much enjoy his writing. No about to start The Fires of Vengeance by Evan Winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonstyx Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I'm reading the Three-Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu. Currently on the second book, The Dark Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leons1701 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The only real problem with Gentlemen Bastards is that Lynch is a very slow writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambala Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I have started reading (and in some cases re-reading) the Star Wars Legends books. I’m also reading 2 books on developmental psychopathology for a class, and listening to mystery/thriller novels while I knit or play video games.

I actually ended up putting it down for a few months. But I did make it back, and have noticed it's picking up. I'm glad to hear that should continue through to the end! And hey @Shambala!
