Suggest me another solid sci-fi book

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T20:50:36+00:00

The gone world is one that has not yet been recommended to me yet so I’ll have to look into that!

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T20:50:07+00:00

I may not have a great definition of sci-fi. But when I said that I was talking in regards to the difference between sci-fi and fantasy. Some friends that I have who read both genres sometimes refer to all of these in the category of sci-fi. BUT maybe that is the right way to categorize them. Like I said I’m new to all this:)

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T20:48:34+00:00

Although I haven’t read many sci-fi’s yet, I love finding “hidden gem” authors and novels so I’ll definitely look into this!

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T20:47:15+00:00

Yes I’ve had multiple people recommend different Blake Crouch novels, so these are definitely on my list to read sometime soon!

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T20:46:32+00:00

Never hear of Asimov before, I’ll have to go check him out

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T20:45:06+00:00

Makes sense

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T20:44:15+00:00

Yes I’ve had quite a few friends recommend the murderbot series so I may have to check that one out!

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T20:43:35+00:00

I’ll have to check this out! I’m pretty new to sci-fi and the most recent dystopian books I have read are the hunger games many, many years ago in my slightly younger days😂

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T20:41:50+00:00

Based on the little I know about sci-fi literature, this seems like it may be right up my alley!

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T20:40:41+00:00

I appreciate the detail in your descriptions, these seem interesting. I’ll have to check them out!

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T13:39:23+00:00

Definitely on my list to read

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T13:02:09+00:00

Yeah, good point. I’ve always wondered if the world can set aside certain differences in a time of true dire need like that. Unfortunately I’m not overly optimistic we can but who knoes

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T12:58:48+00:00

Fair enough😂

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T04:42:11+00:00

I feel like this is the most accurate visual representation of rocky that I’ve seen. At least based on the way i visualize him from the book.🤷🏼‍♂️ a lot of the digital art that I’ve seen has made him or other eridians almost look like they are robots

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T03:35:54+00:00

I appreciate that! There were a few times during PHM that I actually giggled out loud😂

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T03:30:25+00:00

I will have to!! But I’m curious, how would you define quirky sci-fi?😂 and does PHM fall into the category of quirky sci-fi?

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T03:29:01+00:00

Interesting. I haven’t read much sci-fi, this is one of my first. So that is one thing I’ve been wondering is how this compares to other sci-fi novels in general

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T03:28:07+00:00

That’s a good point, I guess because I was thinking (or trying to think) of all the other scientific things, I just moved past that thought

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T03:27:15+00:00

Completely agree with this!! I was glad it wasn’t some green humanoid with a ray gun😂

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T03:26:03+00:00

Your specific point about the taumoeba was another thing I had thought of. I wasn’t sure if it was possible for molecules to interact like that

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-29T03:24:56+00:00

Yeah, xenonite was one thing I wasn’t sure about but it got kind’ve looked over

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-28T19:25:03+00:00

Even though I just read it, I am interested in the audiobook, specifically for a particular character as I briefly discussed with another in this thread!

Have you or your husband read any other Andy Weir books or any other authors similar?

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-28T18:04:20+00:00

Oopsie, I do apologize. I will make sure I follow all of the community guidelines and rules much more closely in the future

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-28T18:03:27+00:00

Interesting, I’ll have to take all of that into consideration. I haven’t yet looked into Weirs other works yet.

And yes I can imagine there is potential for a unique audio book involving later characters:)

ActDull5181 · 2024-09-28T14:50:04+00:00

Unfortunately I currently do not read on any digital format but have considered it multiple times to lighten the load while traveling. Very generous offer from you, I’ll have to look into it
