    Exclamation How are there ZERO posts in books?

    Hi, I'm soleil, your local bookworm. I'm currently reading "Where the Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens. It's supposed to be an amazing book but I'm only about 10% through. I got a new kindle for Christmas so I'm geeking out.

    Am I really the only bookworm in all of Neopia? Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello? echo...)

    I don't do much reading and want to change that.

    Anyone got any good fiction or sci-fi to recommend?

    Fiction is such a H-UUUUUUU-GE genre.

    What do you like to read? Can you give examples of books you've read before and enjoyed?

    As far as Sci-Fi goes, I can't speak to the novels (yet), but The Expanse on Amazon Prime is based on a series of novels and it is AMAZING. I have heard the novels it is based on are just as good. They are on my to-read list. It's a series and it's nearly finished.

    They are by James S. Corey.

    Courtesy of Wikipedia:


    I'm going to move on to Leviathan Wakes, but right now I'm in the middle of reading The Witcher novels, which are ALSO amazing, by the way. Strongly recommend if you like fantasy.

    I am a sci-fi fanatic haha. These are mostly old books, but here's some of what I've read and enjoyed:

    The foundation series, Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, Neuromancer, Brave new world, Do androids dream of electric sheep?, 2001: A space odyssey, Childhood's end, Roadside Picnic, Starship Troopers, Contact, Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse Five, Flowers for Algernon (super sad but great), Old Man's World, the forever war.

    Sci-fi I didn't like that much personally but are highly rated: Stranger in a strange world, the dispossessed, Dune, Hyperion cantos.

    See I loved Dune and Stranger in a Strange World. Another Robert A. Heinlen book I enjoyed was The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and you may have to pick through them because the set has many different authors, but there are many wonderful Star Wars books, which, as fan of the movies, filled the gaps of time between them in the Star Wars universe. Contact is fantastic, as is Brave New World!

    Stranger in a Strange World is what I started with back in the day, and it's what got me interested in Sci-Fi. It's a light read compared to say, Dune, and I highly recommend it, along with the many, many Star Wars books.

    On another note, has anyone read Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace? It's a hefty read that I'm soon going to attempt to tackle.

    The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is another book I didn't like much but it is very well liked in general. Worth a read for any sci-fi fan. Star Wars ones are great.

    I have read Infinite Jest, it was interesting. Just make sure you have enough time to take it all in. Footnotes galore!
