Ascendance of a Bookworm series by Miya Kazuki (Light Novel) and on every reread i discover something new that was forshadowed.

There is whole instance dedicated to that series.

Harry potter series

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky

HHGTTG Tue trilogy of 5 I've read through maybe 5 times now. Unfortunately I think the last time was a mistake as I really struggled after the first 2 books and didn't enjoy them like I once had.

Watership Down.

Also some Philip K. Dick books, like A Scanner Darkly and Eye in the Sky.

But I also enjoyed the Bartimaues trilogy so much when I was somewhat younger.

I have 2 in mind.

• The Martian by Andy Weir
• Thieves Emporium by Max Hernandez (WARNING: sexual assult in chapter 10 but can be skipped)

When Sysadmins Ruled The Earth by Cory Doctorow

Freedom^tm by Daniel Suarez

Foucault's pendulum by Umberto Eco. Just thinking about it makes me want to read this masterpiece again.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foucault%27s_Pendulum

Childhood's End

Schismatrix by Bruce Sterling.

Ray Bradury's "From the Dust Returned".

It keeps getting more relevant, as I age and understand the world a bit more.

When I was 7, I got brought to the school library and told to pick a book to read over the summer. I picked The Hobbit. I got told no. I Insisted. Read that, then moved on lotr. I then read those I don't know how many more times over the years. As far as I remember, those are the only books I ever bothered to read more than once. Not counting listening to the audio books at work, as well.

Sentenced to Prism by Alan Dean Foster. It's set in his wider universe, but is a stand alone. The main character is a jack of all trades that fixes unique situations. When a far off base on an unregistered planet stops responding, the corporation sends him in to figure out what went wrong. The planet is very, very different. It's an interesting take, don't think too hard about the physics, and it's a neat writing style. The characters are very interesting.

The Practice Effect by David Brin. Essentially, the more you use a thing, the better it gets at that thing, even if that's not what it was made for, but that effect decays if it's left unused. A modern day physicist is transported there and gets caught up in political and physics shenanigans.

• Neuromancer by Gibson
• Snow Crash by Stephenson
• the Uplift series by Brin
• the Amber series by Zelazny
• the Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit by Tolkien

There are a number that I've realized I really enjoyed, but read so long ago that I've forgotten a lot and will reread soon. Those include Blood Music by Bear, and a whole bunch of Clarke novels.

The entire series of Culture books by Iain M Banks, they're just phenomenally written.

Others I've reread at least twice:

Frank Herbert's DUNE series

Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash

The Thievesworld anthology series

Alastair Reynolds House of Suns

William Gibson's Jackpot books

I know I'm 8 hours late, but please attach the genre of your books.

The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking by Edward B. Burger and Michael Starbird - Psychology, Self-Help, Study-Help, Non-Fiction. Please, this one. It's short. Even if you aren't a college student anymore. Their other books are also good fun plus maths.

Stranger in a Strange Land. Read that many times.

Ascendance of a Bookworm, shoutout to [email protected]

I’ve never been one for reading. Even for books with movies I love, I always found reading books myself a chore.

But when I saw the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime, I wanted to know what was going to happen after the season ended. This lead me to the Manga, which was behind at the time, then the light novel.

The word is rich and it has a depth that isn’t daunting. The character you meet feel like they have their own lives, and the sheer number of side stories which isn’t about our main character is wonderful.

This was the series the made me get an eReader just for the books and the many spin offs. And I now preorder it to get the prerelease chapters to get my bookworm fix every mynesday.

The translation work is amazing the story is my cup of tea, and I will recommend it to those who want something new.

1. How to live safely in a science fictional universe
2. The forever war
3. Catch 22

All the King's Men. I like how the different characters grapple with what goodness is and what it means to implement it in the real world. Doesn't hurt that Penn Warren was also a poet, and his prose reflects that.

A more obscure author David Eddings, did a bunch of fantasy series. The Belgirad and the mallorian were two that I've read the most but the others are great also.

Also Tolkian. And Harry Potter

The Dispossessed, The Lathe of Heaven, and The Left Hand of Darkness - by LeGuinn

The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion

Dune

The Screwtape Letters - C.S. Lewis

Stranger in a Strange Land

1. H.G. Wells’ Time Machine
2. Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide
3. J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter
4. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451
5. Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club

All 20 novels in the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian.

/never had the heart to read the unfinished 21st book.
