Lemmy World Rules

I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

Fall; or Dodge in Hell by Neal Stephenson

I just grabbed Kurtz Vonnegut's Welcome to the Monkeyhouse and Palm Sunday and it's pretty cool.

Probably only relevant to German readers, I'm currently enjoying "Sanctum" from a series by Markus Heitz. He made a trilogy about werewolves and one about vampires, both are great if you're into spooky stuff, action and a bit of fictional violence. ;) Personally, I think that the Judas trilogy (the one about vampires) is written slightly better and a more fluent story arc, so if you only would give one of them a try and you're not an absolute werewolf fan, I'd start with "Kinder des Judas".

The Three Books of Occult Philosophy after having finished La Veritable Magie Noire (True Black Magic). They are interesting because of their historical significance and, shall we say, creativity.

Hey, me too! I just started Wool two days ago! Planning to read Shift and Dust as well right after.

I'm rereading, after along time, Druss the Legend.

Once I'm done with that I'll work my through all of Gemmels other books.

Several, in tandem. The one I'm enjoying the most right now is The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity, by David Graeber, and David Wengrow.

Outland by Dennis Taylor

I've finished Wool in the middle of Silo season 1. I was wondering what might a regular viewer think of Shift? (I think that's the second of the trilogy)

I enjoyed the more sentimental moments between our main character and Mechanical, but preferred in the show that the Mayor was given more depth.

I'm currently reading American Psycho and The Two Towers. Both can be slow at times, so it's nice to be able to read one of them and when it gets boring read the other one

State Tectonics, third book of the Centenal Cycle by Malka Older. It's not bad so far, but it feels like too artificial. Like the setting doesn't make much sense, the author just wanted to play with it. Yes, same applies to the first two books. I liked the first one much more to be honest.

I'm reading the "Starship's mage" series by Glynn Stewart, really fun boks, and still after having read 14 books it's still really a fun read :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm re-reading "Scions of Humanity" (AEON 14) while I wait for the next book to be released (Galactic Front). You can start reading books from the AEON 14 for free at Rika Mechanized

I'm reading The Lady of the Lake by Andrzej Sapkowski. It is the fifth book of The Witcher's series

I forgot I read Wool, that was a good book! Currently reading nonfiction (Outlive by Peter Attia) but recently read Axiom's End and enjoyed it.

The Fifth science by Exurb1a. It's a collection of short stories in a shared universe. Love it so far. Author has a good youtube channel if you're into that.
