What kinda books you like reading?

Therapy workbooks, cookbooks, SF, murder mysteries (Rex Stout is my fave author), and thrillers in the style of Ludlum and Clancy. Michael Connolly is my favourite contemporary author. Larry Niven, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Greg Bar are my all time fave SF authors. A nod to Spider Robinson as well (quirky and fun).

Edit: I cannot stand anything by Clive Cussler and the 30 or so of his books around my home are not mine. I swear. [blushes]

Have you read the integral trees by Larry Niven?

Of course. Gorgeous piece of world building.

I just realized my list was deficient. How does one list favourite authors without mentioning Pratchett and Gaiman? The shame is heavy now. Well, #FKKK. AND Barker.

I canceled gaiman’s ass.

And I prefer de lint when it comes to urban fantasy

I read an urban fantasy novel by someone I can’t remember and that I don’t remember the title either, but it was phenomenal and it’s always plagued me that I can’t remember what the book is so I can’t reread it. I don’t think I even finished the book.

Oh also do you know Jane lindskold? She’s a great fantasy writer

Yeah Larry niven’s cool

I never read the protector series. Is that any good? The covers creeped me out

I also really enjoy the work of Sherri s. Tepper

I read it in high school and it was kind of over my head because of how complex her thinking is. But it’s wonderful work

I’ve read the first half of the Firekeeper books. I really need to read the rest. Library only had some of them. I have the same issue with this series:

It was kind of mediocre, TBH, but I read the first four books and then never found how it ended. Still, better than Cussler novels. No idea why anyone would read those. [coughs and kicks another Cussler novel under the couch ]

Yes, very worthy.

I’m studying philosophy for at least 3 years so I’m invested. I also have books on spirituality, economics, self help, and atheism. I have a book I’m going to read it’s the white lab coat guide: it’s everything you learned in medical school to be a doctor condensed, I have like 50 books I bought that I still have to read. Today I’m reading the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. Kant is praised by most philosophers as being a quintessential philosopher when it comes to studying ideas. Good things
