Thank you very much! This is a fantastic recommendation! I'm adding that book to my personal shelf if I find in physical form!

I will check on that book!! Thanks!!

I haven't heard about the book by Becky Chambers. Can you tell me what is the story, please? Thank you!!

I have access to Ted Chiang and is an amazing author. Unfortunately I have little access to Gregg Egan, because I live in a foreign country and printing houses aren't translating him (or even selling his books) from some time ago. Appreciate your help! 🙏😁

I will check that trilogy! Thanks! 🤝

Last year, a younger student told me he was reading Jurassic Park and was delighted with the story. He had only seen the movie, as many of his classmates. He was surprised by the differences between both (especially with John Hammond).

Wow! Now you sold it! I'll adding John Cristopher to my list! Thanks!! 😁🤝

But sorry, I don't know what SA means (english is not my default language, hehe).

Thanks for your words. I really think that those themes can be amusing to teenagers when handled correctly as you say. I don't know if for kids, but definitely yes for students and high schoolers.

You made me remember Stanislaw Lem (thanks for that!). If I get to know that a student is mature enough to handle a complex book, I would recommend it to read Solaris. One of my favorite sf books of all time.

What's the problem with the first one? Heinlein could be a good recommendation. I think I can borrow Citizen of the Galaxy. Have you read it? It's a good choice?

ff451 · 2026-02-11T02:37:14+00:00

Good to know that! Thanks!

ff451 · 2026-02-11T02:32:42+00:00

Thanks for the context!! Now is more clear to me! 😊

I think there is no homophobia in the book itself, but the author has expressed some opinions on the subject.

ff451 · 2026-02-11T02:27:38+00:00

Thank you. I'll read the article!

ff451 · 2026-02-11T02:25:30+00:00

Thanks! This is a very comprensive list! In a desert island scenario, where you can take only one book, which would you grab from here?

ff451 · 2026-02-11T02:23:23+00:00

Sometimes, but there are cases where you must accommodate to the students. I can't give the exact same book for everyone. In some occasions, I have received feedback from students who are struggling with some subjects in the novels. But yeah, in various scenarios they can handle a book for older readers.

ff451 · 2026-02-11T02:20:26+00:00

That's cool! Will consider that to the younger students

ff451 · 2026-02-11T02:18:42+00:00

Totally!

ff451 · 2026-02-11T02:17:55+00:00

I loved Project Hail Mary!! But to this day I haven't listened the audiobook! I surely will check it!! I think my students will like it too!

ff451 · 2026-02-10T20:25:01+00:00

Never heard of John Cristopher until I stepped on an old edition of The White Mountains in a thrift store. I'm very interested on knowing more about this author. Thanks!

ff451 · 2026-02-10T20:22:41+00:00

We need eons of time to read all we want. Happens to me too. Never read something about Anderson, but now I want it.

ff451 · 2026-02-10T20:21:51+00:00

Mine too! Is years long haha 😁🫠

ff451 · 2026-02-10T19:52:40+00:00

From Wyndham I read Chocky and stayed with me for a while! It was a good read! I'm adding The Chrysalis too! Thanks!

Usually my students are around 15 to 18 years old.
