Son of the Revolution is the book that started my interest in Chinese culture especially under Mao. If you're reading more of a history but want more the feeling of living in the society I highly recommend this biography

Will check this out too, thanks

I liked annihilation ok but i also read the others weren't as good.

Never Let Me Go is a reddit darling for sure. It suffers from being over hyped.

I had a really tough time getting attached the never let me go, I don't think I'll be finishing.

Probably a long shot but has anybody read the Dungeon Crawler Carl series?

Just looked at the cover and I think I want to now

It’s a Reddit darling. It comes up every time I look for something similar to Project Hail Mary and Murderbot Diaries. The cover art reminds me of early PC first person shooters. I’m worried it might be a bit too silly for my tastes.

Hey @Gaucho do you know why the German versions of The Expanse books omit the S.A. from the author(s)' names?



I'm assuming it's a reference to the Sturmabteilung, but could it be something else?

[Gaucho]

It's exactly for that reason, yes.

Apparently there is a sequel out to Kings of the Wyld, need to check that out. Cannot recommend the original enough, one of the most enjoyable fantasy/adventure books I've read in years.

Read the first Longmire book.

Those are tonally different from the tv show...not sure I like it.
