Among my favorites I remember: Gideon the ninth, slavery by another name, worst journey in the world, anything by Ted Chiang, blindsight/echopraxia

Recent reads: little bosses everywhere (excellent), no more tears (also excellent), get in trouble (I really like parts of it but it's classic Kelly link, super weird and abrupt)

    The books in that series all seemed to follow the same pattern of something weird, interesting and mysterious happening, having no idea what was going on, spending the whole book getting a slightly better picture of it only for something else totally incomprehensible to happen and the cycle started again. I wanted to like it but I got sick of the antics. Really interesting world though

    Yeah it was interesting but honestly I just kind of found Gideon a bit too much on the cringy side of edgy... There was a lot to like but I found a lot of it very grating somehow.
