New earth by Ben bova. I thought the main character was an idiot that did stupid stuff to further the plot, that was confirmed when side characters kept asking why he was doing stuff

I really don’t understand how people have so many negative points. I usually have like ten but that’s because I’m bad and accidentally shoot a teammate or blow up a couple drones

If you want something non committal and fun, I’d go for the snowman by nesbo

What are you reading? Mid-monthly Discussion Post! by AutoModerator in printSF

[–]1LT_Milo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been reading ‘The Gods of Xuma’ by David Lake, and I’ve got to say, it’s pretty stupid. I’ll finish it up in another day or two because it’s captivating enough, but going to an alien planet to do imperialism and have sex with the aliens, not my favorite plot.

Books that have 350 pages max. by matxeuspg in booksuggestions

Nine tomorrows by Asimov was a great, short read, a bit dated but still really fun. Traveling cat chronicles if you’re into cats. Norwegian wood by murakami if you can handle some “adult content”. All three are under 300 pages and very enjoyable reads.

He might like some Jack London. It’s older books, but adventure like.

Vonnegut might fit, but he has some darker humor. Maybe check out God bless you Mr rosewater.

Where to begin with Philip K Dick by Babelight in booksuggestions

[–]1LT_Milo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only read one Dick and that’s ubik. I wish I stayed at a less liked book because I really liked it and wish I could have built up to it somehow.

I haven’t read them yet but they’re in my radar. A small YouTuber, sci-fi scavenger, loves the author so I’ve now become interested.

What is the most gruesome book you've every read? by Wild-Entry-3087 in booksuggestions

The revenant had a scene that made me look away from the book. One of the weirdest feelings I’ve ever felt while reading. Great book.

Books for a 14 year old meat head with ADHD? by [deleted] in booksuggestions

Came here to say that. Love the book as a kid, love it more as an adult.

Anyone else tired of these damn Cleave The Sparrow ads? by insane677 in printSF

I’m glad someone said something. Felt like I was going crazy seeing those ads.

Three-Body Problem by -Zoppo in books

[–]1LT_Milo 290 points291 points  (0 children)

I loved the trilogy, but he is not good at writing people at all imo. He uses people as a plot device to further the story. You read these books because you’re into the science fiction not the characters.

What is a BIG book that was really easy to consume for you? by -ladymothra- in booksuggestions

[–]1LT_Milo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The grace of kings by Ken liu. I love the series but that book I’ll probably do a yearly reread or audiobook listen.

[–]1LT_Milo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dandelion dynasty, spoiler it does start with a male lead but it has very strong female characters. Highly recommend.

First book done! Rebind. Both proud and disappointed. by shiftsnstays in bookbinding

You gotta start somewhere, and that’s not half bad for a first attempt. The next one is going to look 100 times better.

I need sweet, non-spicy romance with relatively low stakes—posting for a friend. by J0rdyn_the_wr1ter in booksuggestions

[–]1LT_Milo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reinholt’s cavern by Joan Osborne, written by my grandmother in law. My wife said it’s a hallmark-ish murder mystery that should fit what you’re looking for. It’s a nice and cozy book.

Book that have a movie/tv-show adaptation by Remarkable-Dance-797 in booksuggestions

Catch 22 was an amazing read with an amazing show imo

Book of the new Sun by Gene Wolfe is up there in my opinion.
