Hijinks ensue and mysteries abound in this exciting and witty adventure in the high space seas. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a must-read for anyone who enjoys quirky characters, sci-fi shenanigans, and humorous turns of phrases.
Read MoreThis is the most masculine book ever! It has data, math, engineering, potatoes, problem-solving, and almost zero explicit emotional content. It is about a man who is stuck alone on Mars who never cries or gets depressed or laments about missing his family or friends back on Earth. He just works and solves problems with his superior intellect and indomitable spirit.
Read MoreI recommend this book if you like science fiction and it doesn’t take long to get through but be prepared to slog through some tedious chapters that could have been omitted without taking away from the story. It feels old-fashioned but I can see how it would be seen as monumentous in the world of science fiction when it came out. I need to watch the movie so that I can add to my cultural knowledge related to this book and I love science fiction so why not?
Read MoreI already wrote reviews for these so feel free to read the full reviews using the links, otherwise, I limited myself to providing an excerpt from each review for each of my favorite books of 2023. These are not in ranked order. These are all amazing books and you should check them out.
Read MoreEveryone knows about the Game of Thrones series. Whether you like the shows or read the books or both you know that George R.R. Martin can spin an epic yarn. His ability to create a world full of unique characters, political manipulation, and intense combat is legendary. He is able to engage an audience through intertwining stories that involve multiple plots and subplots that all relate to each other and end up coming together in a way that is both exciting and cohesive. This is the case in the Game of Thrones books and I recommend people go out and read them. I also recommend people read two other books that I had never heard of until I found them in a local bookstore.
Read MoreTuf Voyaging is an excellent sci-fi novel that employs scientific concepts and clever problem-solving to propel its main character through tumultuous terrain. It is on par with my other favorite sci-fi book Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and that is saying a lot. Project Hail Mary is amazing and I highly recommend that to you as well. If you like sci-fi, Tuf Voyaging by George R.R. Martin is a must-read!
