Finished The Kingdom of Copper by S. A. Chakraborty, the 2nd book in The Daevabad Trilogy.

Went straight to the sequel, The Empire of Gold, the 3rd and last book in the series.

What about all of you, what have you been reading and listening?

    I’m currently in the middle of a few books, and I’ve got more queued up to read next.
    here’s what I’m currently reading:

    William Gibson - Neruomancer [The Sprawl, book 1]
    Just started the last chapter, can’t wait to read the rest of the sprawl.
    the writing is amazing and i can see why it’s so recommended.

    Douglas Adams - The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy [Compilation of the entire series in one book]
    I’m about half way through book 1, loved the movie and figured i would read the books.
    no regrets so far, quite a fun read.

    Martha Wells - Rogue Protocol [The Murderbot Diaries, Book 3]
    Saw this series recommended years ago on reddit, only semi-recently got around to reading it
    it’s an interesting story, and i would recommend it myself.

    Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray
    I don’t really even know what to say about this one, other than I’m enjoying it thus far
    and the fact that i can’t read more than a few pages at a time without getting a headache from deciphering some of the wording haha

    and here’s what’s all on my to-be-read list (minus continuations of the aforementioned series) in no particular order:
    Liu Cixin - Remembrance of Earth’s Past [Series]
    Neal Stephenson - Cryptonomicon [Series]
    Neal Stephenson - Snow Crash
    Frank Herbert - Dune [Series]
    Harper Lee - To Kill A Mockingbird
    Philip K. Dick - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
    Homer - The Iliad
    Dante - The Divine Comedy

    I would love some recommendations from you lovely people to add to my backlog :)

      That’s a great list of books.

      If you like Douglas Adams, try Sir Terry Paratchet’s Discworld series, if you haven’t already read them.

      I also have The Murderbot Diaries on my wishlist, from some reddit thread years ago. Haven’t gotten around to them yet though, but seeing you recommend them again, going to prioritise them. Though, I still have many books in my backlog that I have to finish before getting more.

      I just realised the series is called “Rememberane of Earth’s Past” and not “The Three-Body Problem”

      Well, these are all great books, you can’t really go wrong with any of them, so just have fun!
