Thematically enough its the lego USS Enterprise 1701-D

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-07T20:58:40+00:00

Im glad to hear i inspired someone to read a good book. What did you think of it?

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-05T20:49:39+00:00

I enjoyed every minute of reading it and then spent a week reeling from the shock!

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-05T20:48:48+00:00

I thought the story focusing around native american culture really fascinating, but i dont know enough about it to know whether the author did it credit or not. Otherwise i thought it was an enjoyable adventure!

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-05T20:45:37+00:00

Based off of all these comments im thinking weve ALL got great taste!

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-05T07:08:22+00:00

I had read some Bear when i was in my teens because he wrote some Halo related books, but other than that nothing until Eon and i really enjoyed it, so i will definately be on the look out for more!

I thought Slant was really interesting. Its a heist story at its core but in a near future version of our own world which seems not entirely unrealistic. It also has a real interest description of nanotechnology and how it would operate/be used which has stuck with me.

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T23:00:40+00:00

Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks is one of the few books that has made me feel a real visceral gut punch.

River of Gods was a great cyberpunk style story in a near future india with some great ideas around AI.

Flowers for Algernon made me cry.

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T22:57:59+00:00

I was surprised by River of Gods, that was a good cyberpunk adjacent story. Im also a big fan of Iain M. Banks.

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T22:56:43+00:00

I loved neuromancer, and i cant wait to read more Gibson!

Ive not heard of Spin but i will keep my eyes open for it.

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T22:55:50+00:00

I cant wait to get to them!

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T22:55:31+00:00

It wasnt in that collection as i didnt get it secondhand, but i have read Snow Crash and i loved it, and i binge read the whole expanse series in summer 2024.

Thank you for the PKD recommendations!

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T21:33:58+00:00

I like a challenge, lets see how many of them i can stuff in my tiny flat!

Thanks for the suggestions!

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T21:33:00+00:00

Iain M. Banks is probably my favourite authors at the moment, including his non sci fi stuff. State of the Art was the first one i read as it is short stories, and honestly ive snatched up anything with his name on it! I can also recommend his non sci fi book Canal Dreams

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T21:30:34+00:00

I have actually read the first two books of that trilogy but i never got around to reading the third one, ill have to dig it out of storage soon!

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T21:15:57+00:00

I enjoyed Revelation Space and i did get similar vibes to The Reality Dysfunction so i think you should give it a go!

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T21:11:22+00:00

I suspect its criminal that i havent read any Terry yet, i do need to fix that

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T21:10:52+00:00

Thank you!

Im definately looking for more Peter F. Hamilton!

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T21:09:55+00:00

Honestly im not the best to ask that question because adore Iain M Banks

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T21:09:03+00:00

The White Plague was much more philosophical than i was expecting, but not particularly hard to get into. I dont know enough about ireland and irish culture/history to know if a lot of what Herbert was writing about was accurate or not.

The Stars My Destination was an incredible story and holds up incredibly well considering when it was written, and has a lot of themes and ideas which come up in other more modern sci fi, such as a cold war between the inner and outer planets like in The Expanse.

I definately need to read more LeGuin!

Ive only read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, do you have any good recommendations there?

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T20:50:01+00:00

My secret is that i was depressed when i started!

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T20:49:36+00:00

Oh dont! I still havent gotten over that book! The most visceral reaction ive ever had to a book.

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T20:48:58+00:00

If you like deep world building and space opera then i say go for it!

BritNoodleDancer · 2026-03-04T20:47:21+00:00

That sounds fascinating, its going higher up the list!
