I’m reading Discworld series after some Lemmings suggested it. They’re great! Read Sourcerer and Guards! Guards! And just starting Men at Arms

I laughed so much at the Brotherhood scenes in Guards! When the brothers are bickering, and when the guy has to recite the whole long password but the last line is incorrect.

Death’s End by Cixin Liu

It’s been an on and off affair for a little while now. I had a lot more free time back when I finished the first two, so I’m kinda struggling to get any meaningful reading done. Honestly, at this point I’d be happy just finishing this one by the end of the year.

It was my favourite of the bunch, although IMO it should’ve been two books instead. But I understand he wanted a trilogy, it being the Three Body Problem and all that.

Enjoy the ride!

Currently: Expanse book #1, Discworld book #1, Code by Charles Petzvold, and Raspberry Pi Operating System Assembly Language: Hands On Guide by Bruce Smith. I tend to switch between them based on my mood

The Color of Magic may be my favorite book of all time.

I’m in the middle of the Hyperion Cantos series. It’s exceptionally good sci-fi, reminds me a lot of games like Elite Dangerous :)

Have you read The Expanse? How does it compare?

I loved the Expanse series, but like Hyperion better. Has the literary structure of Canterbury Tales if you’ve read that. The story spans four books and doesn’t click entirely until you reach the last part of the last book. It’s fantastic. (I’m rereading the series)

Hyperion is a bit more futuristic, but a lot more asymmetric compared to Expanse, keeping it fresh. It’s ideas and ethics go a lot further. It asks and answers questions that people are currently concerned about, or could soon be concerned about, give or take a century or two. I won’t spoil it, but it’s excellent sci-fi. The author clearly did a lot of research while writing it. :)
