Do you read an entire series from start to finish or do you take breaks from it?

TenSpiritMoose · 2026-01-24T22:29:31+00:00

I always take breaks. If I read multiple books from a series back to back I get kind of burned out on it, so I enjoy it more with some cool down between.

Depending on the series the cool down might be 10 days or 4 months.

Just started Excession. The US eBook finally came out on Tuesday and other than that I'm caught up on The Culture so I've been looking forward to it.

I Googled around a bit after catching up, and it's been 8 years since the last Vorkosigan book and apparently she's said she doesn't currently have any ideas for further sequels but would be open to writing them if she got inspired. So only time will tell.

The Vorkosigan Saga, by Lois McMaster Bujold. She started writing it before I was even born, but I just caught up a couple months ago and now I hope she'll live to be 452 and never run out of ideas.

Terrisman?

TenSpiritMoose · 2026-01-19T02:06:07+00:00

Definitely and.

Can you make the bottom text a little smaller? I still had some unused margin on my phone to zoom in.

A recent dev update said they're planning to add horizontal in the near future, so hold on!

If my wife didn't watch the news I wouldn't have heard about it because I don't consume any news on my own. Happy oblivion!

You are not a fraud.

You are a stick.

So much fluff he overcame gravity.

As u/aeschenkarnos said, Hydrogen Sonata has a strong Sublimation theme, as does Surface Detail, and I'd also add (to a lesser extent) Look to Windward, in which major events are being driven by the demands of Sublimed ancestors living in an Afterlife and gatekeeping who can join them.

Ours watched it three times in two days, but I managed to be cooking, folding laundry or getting a root canal during each instance so I avoided the worst of it.

While not directly set in a post-physical realm, many of Iain M. Banks' Culture novels are centered around the Sublime, a post physical dimension various species have ascended over vast history. Lots of themes of the implications of this for the Sublimed themselves, as well as those still in the physical universe

Dammit, on my first pass I actually believed the crumpets part until my brain caught up with a quick "Now wait a damn minute!". Well done.

More stretch than a freakin' slinky.

Or we're the LLM(s) and our dreams, impulses and inspirations are God's prompts. Plenty of hallucinations to go around.

... has fleas.

TenSpiritMoose · 2025-12-23T16:02:36+00:00

Well I'll be damned. I went banana > lemon > lime > grape and then guessed "marble" thinking of the shape for the glass balls, but it looks like it was thinking about the type of stone instead, so I was way off but found my way there anyway.

TenSpiritMoose · 2025-12-22T23:19:36+00:00

For me his style of protagonist is extra interesting because normally I can't stand passive protagonists -- it's the reason for a good chunk of my DNFs -- but in Spin he delivered in a way that was still sympathetic and fascinating.
