Still reading When Moon Hits the Eye by John Scalzi.

Had some vacation, so didn't get time to read much.

What about all of you, what have you been reading or listening to lately?

I’m currently reading Consider Plhebas and am almost done! I am liking it and am excited for more in the series — no doubt there will be Damage in The Player of Games

    I really liked most of the series, but I didn't finish three of the later ones. That's up to my preferences, for example I didn't like Dune or Children of Time.

    To each their own!

    I recently read Dune Messiah and want to read the rest of the series. I started Children of Dune but paused to start the culture series.

    What series of books do you like that you’ve finished?

    Well, I read a lot, I guess more than one book a week on average. Series I liked, recent sci-fi: the Bobiverse by Denis E. Taylor, old man's war by John Scalzi, murderbot by Martha Wells (too bad it's mostly novella's) and John Scalzi's Interdependency trilogy. Older sci-fi: Foundation series by Asimov, Lazarus Long books by Heinlein and Stainless steel rat by Harry Harrison. Basically stuff where the sci doesn't get in the way of the fi.

    I actually just read book 1 of Murderbot — I liked it and will read more. I liked the ending. John Scalzi has been on my list. I read Foundation and liked it — I def want to read more books in that series as well. Of the others you mentioned, which would you recommend the most?
