I’ll definitely pop Altered Carbon on my list. I haven’t watch the series but didn’t they also have an issue with quality consistency? I often find 3rd or 4th books in series have drop in quality and the it pulls back up (The Expanse) or completely nose dove into the dirt (The Magic of Xanth).
It’s funny I started on Scalzi with Redshirts, which was good but felt like a short story that he padded out to make a novel with. I then read the Old Man Wars series and it just wasn’t for me. It felt like a slog to get through and I was about to give up on Scalzi but I figured the first Lock In book was already in my reading list on my library audiobook app so I’d give it a go, and man that turned me around on Scalzi really right in my groove. So I’ll give Fuzzy Nation a go next and see if I just don’t like the Old Man’s War series.
This one seems hard to find but I’ll put a request in at my local library to see if they can get a copy on loan from another library system.
I’ve seen this book on a lot of shelves but I never knew about the Canterbury Tales concept. I drop this in to my bookshelf buffer just on the reference alone. Although I do reserve the right to picture Dan Simons as Paul Bettany ala A Knight’s Tale.
“Inception meets True Detective” - pops the lollipop out of my mouth “You son of a bitch, I’m in.”
Yeah this sounds good thanks for the recommendation.
I found Locked In to be quite good, Recursion looks interesting from the wiki plot synopsis, like crime riff on Replay which is a really good book and a great concept. I’ll put Recursion in my bookshelf buffer.
I love Andy Weir’s work, I’ve been a fan from his Casey and Andy webcomic days. I really liked Hail Mary but I’m more talking about detective mysteries rather then science mysteries :)
I’m a bit iffy on horror, but mostly because I haven’t read enough to be in on the tropes. I do like the idea of space horror but I suspect that it all in the execution. Thanks I’ll give it go.
I really enjoyed The Expanse - the books that is, I’m stuck in season 4 of the tv series which covers my least favourite book. But I definitely wouldn’t call it a real mystery, detective Miller and his hunt for Julie aside.
But yeah don’t miss on The Expanse series it’s excellent.
When did Pillboi become a professional wrestler?
Buoys outside of America they’re pronounced the same.
And a sarcastic pain in the ass.
No I can’t see a horse here, that’s why we’re guessing.
Yeah I total can confirm this - source: My exhausted ass
I can’t believe I missed that! LOL!
So she’s mastered Air Music, Water Music, Earth Music and Fire Music? She might be ready to take on the Fire Music Lord.
Seriously I’m on Lemmy and nobody’s said “The Princess Dick” yet!?!? You people are getting lazy
I just don’t understand why God Emperor Trump cares more about the godless hippies in Portland and sending in the Army to protect them rather then sending in the Army to protect the righteous God fearing people of Southport, North Carolina

This is one thing that Baltro has hands above StS. Each character really only has a few builds that can really skyrocket, but trying to build them can make it very annoying if things don’t go the way you need and it very hard to pivot to another type of build. Where as Baltro makes it pretty easy to pivot to another type of build if you suddenly get a great joker.
Yeah and it’s amazing that they took this crazy idea from a kids cartoon and made it work!
Am I crazy or didn’t we see these in Big Hero 6?
I like this concept and that opening paragraph is the bomb. “Son of a bitch, I’m in.” Morty pointing meme.
