Aside from Project Hail Mary which I assume every /c/sciencefiction subscriber is going to read what have you been reading or plan to read?

    How’s ready player one? I’m curious, but I wonder if it’s a good book or not.

      Ready Player One is a very good beach book, and especially so if you’re a child of the 80s. Fun read, nothing groundbreaking, tons and tons of trivia and nostalgia.

      It’s bad, but in a kinda fun way? I’ve read it once, and then I listened to the audio book version read by Will Wheaton. I can recommend the audio book as a kinda dumb, fun thing to listen to while doing house work.

      I dunno. Guilty pleasure, I guess?

      It’s a fun light read.

      There’s a lot of nostalgia, and a lot of hints at fun things about the 80s that the reader could have missed. It’s Captain America’s little culture notebook, but mostly for the 80s, and in light novel form.

        Welp, since I wasn’t alive in the 80s and a lot of the media I consume has been influenced by it, could be an interesting read! Event though a lot of things will probably fly over my head.
