For me in SciFi I’ve been trying to hit some classics so I’ve read ‘The Iron Dream’ by Norman Spinrad, ‘A Time of Changes’ by Robert Silverberg and also the (recent release) ‘Out of the Ruins’ anthology.

Of those three I enjoyed ‘The Iron Dream’ the most since I didn’t enjoy Silverberg’s potraryal of women (and it doesn’t seem to have literary intent like in ‘The Iron Dream’.) 'Out of the Ruins had some bangers but it was a fairly inconsistent collection for me that mostly hasn’t been memorable.

So, what are you currently reading or have recently read?

    I just started The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons. I got the consolidated ebook, so I’m only 9% of the way in which is a little daunting (just finished the Poets tale in the first book.)

    Liking it so far, not really like anything I have ever read (no, I never actually read Canterbury Tales) but in some ways it reminds me of the Kingkiller Chronicles with the story within a story.
