Yngwie Mangosteen posted:Light from Uncommon Stars has that as a big theme. It's definitely a very scifi/magical realism book, so I really enjoyed it, but it's not a grounded and realistic thing if that's what you're after. Selachian posted:Catherynne M. Valente's Space Opera comes to mind. These are the two that spring to mind, but yeah, not grounded and realistic for either

IBroughttheFunk posted:This is a pretty broad request - I've been in a bit of reading rut and have been trying to get back in through historical fiction, one of my favorite genres. Anyone have any favorite titles they'd like to recommend? I particularly enjoy works that take place outside the US and Europe (Pachinko, The island of Sea Women, and Amitav Ghosh's entire Ibis trilogy are particular favorites of mine). But definitely not opposed to solid works set there (I've enjoyed nearly everything I've read from James Mcbride, Louis Erdrich, and Carlos Ruiz Zafón). Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond books are beauties, starting with Game of Kings.

Really Big Numbers and Gallery of the Infinite are awesome.
