Hello /c/sciencefiction, it is that time of the month. Time to vote for the book of the month. The options are loosely collected from the most voted and discussed books in the “What are you Reading” thread for August.
At the end of the month the poll will be closed and the winner will be the book of the month for August 2023. Myself and hopefully some others will read this book over the following month and then near the end of the month a discussion post will be made to talk about it. Feel free to participate or not at your leisure.
Once the book is chosen it will be set to “Reading” status on the community BookWyrm account here. https://bookwyrm.social/user/ScienceFiction Feel free to follow this account with your own BookWyrm account so other members can find you. This can help people find book recommendations of like minded science fiction readers.

Neat! First time seeing this community. Going to check it out, commenting so hopefully others do to :)
But…
They’re all worth reading!
Children of time is amazing imo. Love the concept and the characters.
Project hail Mary is probably the best book on that list
Currently reading. It is quite good indeed, but I haven’t read the other ones so I don’t feel I should vote.
E: Oh, I got the intent of the vote wrong.
“Consider Phlebas” is the ultimate 80’s Space Adventure. I say I’m a fantasy guy, but that’s my favorite book currently.
Have you read the rest of the Culture series? I’ve got them all on my Kobo but haven’t started.
HYPERIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
I absolutely love Hyperion, but the second book is almost necessary for these stories to end properly. Fall of Hyperion is my favorite of the series (…that I’ve read so far).
