i should have added it here a while ago!
Golden Age, based on your description, seems to fit the description of a lot of my favourite books. I have a hard time picking favourites, so here are a few series, plus a few singles, I absolutely loved:
For me its
I really enjoy books with a solar flare componet due to my being a ham radio op. I also love apocolypse books of nearly any type. Just no zombies as they freak me out
Right on. I’ll take a look at these. I’ve got a bit of a backlog but most will end up on my wishlist.
I’ve read at least some of those, solid list! Read the Foundation books and a number of other Asimov books, all good. Most things by Arthur C. Clarke I’ve loved as well. Took a break from the Expanse books after a few to start on Children of Time, and took a break part way through book 3 to finally start on some Honor Harrington books! Had one on my shelf for years.
Andy Weir is probably next on my list.
Hey, thanks for the suggestions!!
Bobiverse is the only one I’ve not read yet, it’s now on the list!
Seems like we have pretty similar taste in sci-fi!!
Awesome! What are you reading/listening to right now?
Currently I’m on book 10 of the Wheel of Time, as my main book, and Carnivores of Light and Darkness by Alan Dean Foster for when I need a break. On a bit of a fantasy kick right now.
The last few fantasy series I read:
I’ve not read The Ascendant Trilogy, so that’s on the list now too!
On this topic, do you follow any related communities on lemmy?
Not sure if there’s any yet? I’ve not searched for a books or sci-fi community, but I probably should.
