Trying to jump start this community a bit and thought sharing what we are all reading would be fun.

Recently I just finished “All These Worlds” by Dennis E. Taylor (book 3 of the bobiverse) which I enjoyed. Pulpy but that’s fine by me.

I’ve been listening to the murderbot diaries on my commute because they were in the humble bundle recently and enjoyed those a well. Just finished “Rogue Protocol” by Martha Wells there.

Taking a short breather from prose and read “The Apocalypse War” arc of Judge Dredd. Comics still count as print sci-fi right? Been working through those chronologically alongside Strontium Dog.

I’ve kinda stalled on “The Dark Forest” by Liu Cixin. Just not working for me the way “The Three-Body Problem” did. Which to be honest I thought was marginal overall but when it worked it was great. Maybe just in a tough patch?

Kinda my last two weeks but who’s counting. Have some long travel coming up and have some good novels picked out but that’d be spoilers for next week.

    The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa. I’m about a third of the way through it, and it reads like a somewhat cozy magical realist take on 1984.

      Looks interesting! And this is going to sound odd but the synopsis reminds me of Disney’s Atlantis where somehow all of the Atlanteans forgot how to read…
