A 1,000 books?! So envious

Most interesting Sci Fi series I've read that are fairly new are "The Wess'har Wars." Fun, but rather unrealistic, and the author is a militant Vegan (is there any other kind, LOL?).

Also, set in the near future, "Acid Sky," "Below Mercury," and "Torino Nine." Very realistic technology, did his research.

Also currently struggling through "GEB: An Eternal Golden Braid," it's a bit mathematical for me.

I assume you have read "The Killer Angels."

Right now I'm reading "Worn Stories" by Emily Spivak. It's about our connection with a favorite piece of clothing, and why we keep it. There are many contributors to her book, each telling a story about their item. Light reading, but interesting.

Today I will be finishing "shades of death" by aline Templeton.

I don't think you will be disappointed in the read of >>Lord of Light<< Great SiFi [en.wikipedia.org]

Lord of Light (1967) is a science fantasy novel by American author Roger Zelazny. It was awarded the 1968 Hugo Award for Best Novel,[1] and nominated for a Nebula Award in the same category

WOKE, A field guid for Utipia Preppers by Caitlin Johnstone. It is in maor book stores. She says, "This book is for the ones who look with both eyes," not right-eyed nor left-eyed lookers. Enjoy.

Julian May's Saga of the Pliocene exile is outstanding. It's on my reread list. My oldest son has read it several times as well.

Bernard Cornwell's historical fiction is the best I've read so far in that genre. The Lord's of the North series...An Archer's Tale...he immerses you in the period with meticulous research and a clever weaving of historical fact with "artistic license". Plus...the way he decribes the pagans scratching their heads over the Christians ridiculous and hypocritical philosophies is highly amusing.

If you want a good military book, read Secret Commandos. It’s about Army Special Forces conducting missions during Vietnam, told by an operator.

For most folks, I would suggest "A History of the World in 6 Glasses" by Tom Standage. I read it a while back.

I started "The Ill Made Mute" 2 nights ago, so far not impressed.

Currently reading.....

"First Peoples in a New World: Colonizing Ice Age America" by David J. Meltzer

"Vanguard: Ark Royal - book 7" by Christopher G. Nutall (The Ark Royal series is English Sci-Fi, or as I call it; "Brits in Space".)

"Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America" by Nancy MacLean

"Poor Economics: A Radical Rethinking of the Way to Fight Global Poverty" by Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo

You should read "City of Thieves." It's one of my favorites and I do not think it is well known.
