Currently (re)reading the Night Watch series (Lukyanenko) after a line of depressing but good history reads. What are you reading?
@HereticSoul @GinnyMcQueen I read it recently too, it's pretty good, I recommend The Cyberiad too.
@BillPosters @HereticSoul @GinnyMcQueen The Cyberiad! Yeah! Great combination of philosophy, comedy and science fiction. Could recommend almost all of Stanislaw Lem's work. Unlike most last century SF it withstood the test of time well.
@orionwl @HereticSoul @GinnyMcQueen if you want a good read I highly recommend this book, it's an excellent read on the mythology of tech 💡 📖 Rise of the Machines https://t.co/AXnyhzcPuh
@BillPosters , thank you very much for this recommendation. Hopefully, it won't just end up in my Deleuze pile because that would make me da loser.
@GinnyMcQueen Just finished Pratchett's The Truth. Reading Girl Waits with Gun.

It's good so far.
@GinnyMcQueen "The Fifth Season" by N.K. Jemisin, really cool sci fi/fantasy
@GinnyMcQueen I wasn't aware they had been translated. I loved the movies.
@Katrus Oh yes, they are lovely. (And will make the movies make more sense. 😂)
@GinnyMcQueen 1602, a Neil Gaiman's comic. I'm in the middle of it and it' pretty fun.
@GinnyMcQueen'm currently binging on Hugo award winners. I back-burned Ancillary Sword due to the mountain of tea I felt I was climbing, now giving The Three-Body Problem a shot.
@upside @GinnyMcQueen Oh man, The Three-Body Problem was a real interesting read
@HereticSoul The Three-Body Problem is looking like I'm gonna have to get my game face on for it. Haven't done that for fiction in a while. :cold_sweat:
@upside It's definitely an involved read, but I really dug it! Also, I've been meaning to check out the Ancillary Justice books myself. Heard a lot of good things.
@GinnyMcQueen currently reading the works of political satirist Sarah Vowell as well as rereading all my old Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.
@GinnyMcQueen Skeen's Leap by Jo Clayton. It's a refreshingly non-human filled novel, although I'm still not *quite* sure what to make of it.
@GinnyMcQueen Rereading Jennifer Egan's Black Box http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/06/04/black-box-2 before I jump into A Visit From the Goon Squad.
@GinnyMcQueen Hey! I'm reading Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. Not that depressing I would say haha
@GinnyMcQueen sounds scary... but in a good way. I'm currently getting some minimalist inspiration from Thoreau's Walden 😊
@GinnyMcQueen Just finished Olympos, a sci-fi novel that's hard to describe. But it leans heavily on Greek myth, as well as making constant reference to Shakespeare and Proust. (It's a little pretentious sometimes, tbh.)
@GinnyMcQueen I'm more than halfway through Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale :raising_hand:
@GinnyMcQueen Nearing the end of of the latest Expanse book/re-reading Roadside Picnic
