Still reading Starsight by Brandon Sanderson, second book of Skyward (Cytoverse) series. About half done. It’s interesting to get more details about the world.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening?

    How are you liking them? I read them a long time ago, when I was pretty young, I wonder how they hold up now. Have been specially thinking about reading The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds.

      I enjoyed The Time Machine, but the copy I got also had 10 short stories after it, which were mixed.

      Dr. Moreau has started well after the first 50ish pages.

      The main reason I bought them is because I’ve always been a bit sci-fi fan, but never read the guy who invented the genre!

        If you’re reading genre-creators, don’t forget Jules Verne. Some epic stories in his canon. Actually, I can think of one epic cannon story in his canon.

          Funny you mention him because I was looking up his books yesterday.

          I’m looking at maybe getting an e-reader soon and they’re ideal for reading the classics because they’re so cheap. I looked up a collection of four Jules Verne books and they were £20 on paperback, but only 49p digitally.
