Blue Remembered Earth by Alastair Reynolds. Very enjoyable so far; the plot moves along nicely and although some of the heroes aren't entirely likeable, they do seem realistic and rounded.

Lazarus Rising book IX in the Starfist Series.
A little political. But an enjoyable read."What do you mean by 'Oopps'?"
Team Starfist protects all. But having a fully loaded P-90 helps...

Any of you guys read any of the "Destroyermen" series by Taylor Anderson?
They seem like the kind of thing I'd enjoy - military Sci-Fi, alternate history, parallel worlds etc.
Just wondered if anyone could recommend them?sigpic
Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.Comment

Over the last 2 months I've done a decent bit of reading...for me at least...
I'll place them in the order from the book I liked the most to the least. I really liked Ender's Game a lot, Foundation and Ringworld were both very good. Hitchhiker's wasn't for me and Stranger in a Strange Land was barely enjoyable at all, but I guess a classic none the less.
Ender's Game
Foundation
Ringworld
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Finished reading "Words of Radiance" by Brandon Sanderson. This is the second book in his "Stormlight archives" series and I have to say that this is imo the best fantasy series currently being written. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that there is to long a wait between books though thankfully not anything like what R.R. Martin does

I've heard it's probably best to read the book before watching the series. What do you think?Originally posted by Starfist View Post
Also reading James Corey's Leviathan Wakes series. On the second book, Calibans War. Quite good, so far.Comment

The fact that the Film of 'Divergent' is coming out soon is one of the reasons I bought the book. I've not started reading it yet.
But I read The Hunger Games books before seeing the movie. And I enjoyed the movies more because I had read the books."What do you mean by 'Oopps'?"
