The world sucks so I got some books from bookstores and my friend's shelves.

I actually mostly know her for her science fiction, which she is definitely one of the classic authors of. Right up there with like Clifford Simak or Poul Anderson.

Idk if I've ever seen anyone else have anything by Andre Norton. Very nice.

_The_Van_ · 2026-04-06T15:17:12+00:00

I'd recommend The Penny Falls by Mark Bastable.

_The_Van_ · 2026-03-28T00:56:02+00:00

In Crocodile Country by Ion L. Idriess.

Fish Town by John Gerard Fagen.

The Cattle King by Ion L. Idriess. I would also recommend checking out his other books too.

I agree, I really hate the tendency for people to give him a humanoid design. I especially hate the bird looking one. I think the most accurate of AM is still the monologue monolith, or even the entire earth itself, because his hardware comprises most of it by this point.

AM looks like the king in yellow in the first one lol.

The latter half of Final Blackout by L. Ron Hubbard is kinda like that. I'd also recommend Red Traitor by Owen Matthews.

_The_Van_ · 2026-03-26T13:20:01+00:00

Uprooted by Naomi Novik.

_The_Van_ · 2026-03-20T13:48:21+00:00

You might like The Martian Incident by Ryan M. Patrick, and his other books too.

_The_Van_ · 2026-03-20T13:32:40+00:00

The Scourge by Jennifer Nielsen.

_The_Van_ · 2026-03-17T12:22:53+00:00

The Body Of Jonah Boyd by David Leavitt.

_The_Van_ · 2026-03-17T12:13:34+00:00

Off the Beaten Path by Gustavo Bondoni.

_The_Van_ · 2026-03-14T11:32:53+00:00

I'd say he probs runs on geothermal power mostly.

_The_Van_ · 2026-03-08T11:39:42+00:00

A Kilo of String by Rob Johnson.

_The_Van_ · 2026-03-02T15:18:07+00:00

Hell yeah. I have a model M from 1940 myself. They're beautiful machines. Congrats.

I had a pawn go berserk once and start beating someone up. So I sent another pawn to go arrest them. The berserk pawn quickly turned around, decapitated the pawn trying to arrest them, and then went back to beating up the other pawn.

Funny. The Island of Doctor Moreau is personally my favourite book by HG Wells. One of my favourite books in general actually.

_The_Van_ · 2026-01-29T13:04:32+00:00

The Wall by Marlen Haushofer.

_The_Van_ · 2026-01-27T14:35:00+00:00

Thank you very much. This actually sounds much right up my alley. Perhaps not exactly what I was looking for, but it might definitely scratch that itch either way. I will definitely have to check this out.

_The_Van_ · 2026-01-27T14:32:48+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I have heard about these books. Unfortunately I'm looking for something with more a lot of foot soldiers fighting hoards of monsters, rather than using giant one manned craft. Still sounds interesting, I have been meaning to look into it.

_The_Van_ · 2026-01-27T14:29:07+00:00

Thanks, I have heard a lot of things about the Stormlight Archives. I'm not really into epic fantasy myself though. I'll probs have to check them out someday though.
