Super Powereds Book 3 by Drew Hayes. it's free on Kindle unlimited and really long, series about newly turned superheroes going to superhero college. surprisingly decent if a little CW-esque relationship stuff, on top of the fun from all the different powers and combat and whatnot.

I liked A Deadly Education. The idea that everyone's room had one wall as this nebulous void they asked for new spells and got something ... vaguely relevant in the form of some old book or scrap of paper of spells was fun.

Just finished The Institute by Stephen King. Decent enough as always - I've never read a King I didn't at least enjoy. Some dumb ??? logic and of course it wouldn't be Stephen King if the ending wasn't a bit of a fart but an almost comically evil research facility still makes for a decent read

I was reading David Weber's Out of the Dark but the ending absolutely disgusted me by being supernatural out of nowhere after hundreds of pages of diligent firearm details in a sci Fi book about earth being invaded Now I'm reading Exordia by goon author General Battuta. It's many, many times better than the dog poo poo I was reading before.

The Martian was decent competency porn and so was Project Hail Mary though the latter does stretch further in to SF. i didn't read Artemis. and this is irrelevant but i only made it ten pages in to Scalzi's Kaiju book before the dialogue made me want to throw it at a wall. gently caress you John Scalzi

I'm reading Foundryside after trying half a dozen books. It's ok, kinda juvenile

I'm reading the 1990s sci-fi book series "Exordium" and it's as close to Game of Thrones in space as I think I've seen yet. a whole lot of dead people, also some torture, pretty GRITTY stuff I tell you what

I grew up with my parents flipping houses so every couple years we had to move their giant book collection to a new house I got a Kindle in 2010 and haven't regretted once. I guess impulse buys being one click has lead me to spending a lot of money but I'm going to read those 500+ unread books some day

The Left Hand of Darkness is really good too. I wasn't as blown away by Earthsea as most people seem to be, reading it as an adult

I finally sank to the level of reading a web serial (Super Supportive) recently and was surprised by how dark mode made the phone reading experience actually not terrible. Still vastly prefer the e-reader experience but I can put some hours in on royal road without eye pain or anything apparently

I just finished Episode 13 by Craig DiLouie. A ghost hunter TV show ends up at an actual haunted house. Story told through a mix of journal entries and transcripts of basically found footage Not terrible. The initial setup got me kinda spooked but ended up losing that once things sped up. Ending kinda meh

madmatt112 posted:Following up to say that I’m 90% through The Dispossessed and I think it’s the stronger book of the two Hainish I listed above. I think it hit me harder because the society the Annaresti built could feasibly happen in our own future, but the physical differences of the Gethen people make that more difficult to imagine for us H. sapiens whoa you think the dispossessed is stronger? I read Left Hand of Darkness last year and it was legit one of my favorite sf novels ever, I dont hear about The Dispossessed nearly as much but
