For more KSR, good “hard” SF, try his Mars trilogy. If you read that first, you could then try his Aurora, in which he basically says “the whole concept of the Mars trilogy was stupid and wrong” - not many authors would do that.

Another big read you might enjoy is Peter Hamilton’s Commonwealth Saga. I’ve only read books 1 & 2 - *Pandora’s Star *and Judas Unchained , but both were fabulous. They’re effectively one huge book split into two, book 2 starts exactly at the point book 1 ends.

Ooo! Ill need to check it out! I love his illustrations and I think that would work fantastically with Alice in Wonderland

I bought another copy of Neverwhere illustrated by Chris Riddell earlier this year 😅

Also gonna recommend the Hitchhiker’s Guide Trilogy of Five if you haven’t read Douglas Adams’s masterpiece; different kind of book to what’s mentioned but it’s still nominally science fiction and is more importantly just huge fun.

I watched the show before I knew it was based off of a book. I’ve been wanting to read it for a while, but it’s been in my backlog since. I’ll need to try get around to it… I’m flying to Norway on the 17th, I might try nab it before then

I’ve heard a lot about American Gods and I’ve wanted to read it since the first time I heard about it.
