Summer is here! What are you going to read, and what would you recommend to others?
I’m reading the 4th book that just dropped in Adrian Tchaikovsky’s excellent Children of Time series. Definitely recommended if you want some scifi reading.
I’m currently reading “Les plus jeunes années du monde” by Marie-Lorna Vaconsin, which seems really promising and worth the wait for a translation if you don’t read French. Trees around the world suddenly start glowing red due to a new form of photo synthesis, and the people close to the events make sure every page is interesting and surprising.
I’ve recently read:
-
Dungeon Crawler Carl 8. I was entertained by yet another wave of chaos.
-
“Heureux comme jamais” by Guillaume Chamanadjian, an easy to read satire about a space ship full of rich and entitled people not really caring whether or not they are the last people in the universe.
-
“Automatic Noodle” by Annalee Newitz, about a kitchen crew of robots. Very cozy and easy read.
-
“There is no antimemetics division” by qntm. Short, scary and thrilling. I would go into it without reading too much about it. It is so well thought out, and I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone about this gem of a book.
-
“Murder by memory” by Olivia Waite. A cozy murder mystery set on a generational ship. This is a sweet book if all you want is a break for your brain, a bit like “Automatic Noodle”.
-
“A Cantlicle For Leibowitz” by Walter Miller. This is a classic that is still worth reading. The monks of a monastery preserves knowledge while the rest of the world struggles after a devastating event. So beautifully written, and surprisingly funny as well.
I really liked A Canticle for Leibowitz. Feels like it doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves. It’s really charming.
