Aside from Project Hail Mary which I assume every /c/sciencefiction subscriber is going to read what have you been reading or plan to read?

    Just finished “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress”. A little long and rambling in places, but enjoyable and full of interesting ideas. Would make a good series/mini series. Has tinges of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy at times.

    There’s a good audiobook version available narrated by Lloyd James/Sean Pratt.

      I read this book decades ago when I was a teenager, and it had a huge impact (no pun intended) on me. It’s one of the first novels I can remember that made me sob when it was over. I need to read it again.

      This led me to Stranger in a Strange Land which was just wild and gave me a view into relationships that I wasn’t expecting.

        I haven’t read The Moon is a harsh Mistress yet, but Stranger in a strange Land is amazing.
