A book about the history of trolls from the nordic mythology to the internet by a professor for ancient German and Nordic studies.

Three Body Problem

Children of Dune

Kimi no Hanashi by Miaki Sugar One of my favorite Novels author

Accidentally read book #4 first and am now going back to read the first one.

Akumetsu. Batman, if he wanted to destroy the institutional corruption of Gotham.

The House of Blades by Will Wight. His writing style is so fast-paced and the action scenes are a lot like Mistborn's. Wight also happens to work with the same enthusiasm as Sanderson and has about 26 books written since 2011. All of his books also happen to take place across parallel realities called "Iterations" with different magic systems all using similar underlying principles. I'm still early on in his bibliography but I've been enjoying it a lot so far.

First Contact, exploration of consciousness, sentience/intelligence (and their relationship), Transhumanism, Hard Sci-fi, not challenging but it will not hold your hand through the book.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the book has vampires, but explored in a reality where vampires are an extinct offshoot of homosapiens, resurrected for specific purpose. The explanation of vampires is fascinating, grounded in evolution and actually... believable? This is not a vampire book at all but their presence is not only plausible, it's core to the themes of the book. Highly recommended.

I'm usually enjoying Sanderson's long novels more, but his short form fiction is also pretty damn good.

Roadside Picnic tells a story about an alien visit to earth, however they all already left and only some of their stuff remained in incredibly dangerous Zones. At the beginning of the book we follow Red, a Stalker, they wander into the Zone and try to escape with their lives, if they are lucky they will bring some alien artifacts and sell them to the highest bidder.

The book is much more firm that the Zone was created by aliens, and brings you to question that, if there where aliens, would they try and talk to us or even see us as intelligent?

The story was heavily adapted for the games (called S.T.A.L.K.E.R.), but I also enjoy them very much.

i've been a little disappointed in this third book in the trilogy. it's extremely horny for some reason

Been enjoying most of these stories. A few fall flat though.

The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin is one, but I've also been chewing through the Murderbot series

Thus Spake Zarathustra

I'm like 2 chapters in to the 3rd Dresden files book. One of my friends recommended the series to me but I'm still not really sold on it... at least they're pretty short.
