In this video I investigate whether I am reading enough Science Fiction.

I just finished Roadside Picnic the other day! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these. I loved Dune Messiah and highly recommend continuing with Children of Dune after that. Happy reading!

When I figured out what the title was referring to it really twisted my perspective while reading Roadside Picnic. Very different from the 3 Body Problem style of contact books.

Thanks Johanna, I will definitely get to Children of Dune too as I have it on the shelf ready to go 😎

@@AngryPict It is a very unique first contact story, and I liked that title reveal as well!

Though I’ve read Dune twice and love it, I’ve never continued in the series, so I too might read Dune Messiah later this year. I’ll be curious to see your science fiction list in a few weeks, Al!

There is so much I haven’t read in the genre. I think I will post a 25 sci-fi authors I haven’t read list first before I settle on a TBR, just so I can begin narrowing the options down a little.

You're joining us on The Dark SIde (evil laugh!!)🤣 Moreau is probably my favourite Wells, from what I remeber about Dune Messiah it's a pretty good sequel (although i'm not the best person to talk about Dune to). Roadside Picnic for some reason I've never read, I may have top pick up a copy.

Yes do it! Read along 🥳

Great video! I read some great Sci-Fi last year, so I see where you are coming from. I really need to re-read Dune, simply had no interest as a young teen. I am planning on doing similar things with the fantasy genre starting next month. I have the War Of The Worlds on my kindle and am saving it for a reading event.

I saw how high Magician was on your top books list and wondered if you’d add some fantasy to the schedule 👍

War of the Worlds has been on my shelves for years and it’s really time I pick it up. Scanner Darkly was my first Philip K Dick. I’ll be curious to see what you think of it!

@bigaldoesbooktube1097 Ай бұрын

I have high hopes for A Scanner Darkly. Like you I have had War of the Worlds on the shelf for a few years 🫣

You know Im a huge Ken Follett fan, read everything; Jeremy Fee and I The Kingsbridge Series. I enjoy some sci-fi, especially Dan Simmons and Gene Wolfe.

@bigaldoesbooktube1097 Ай бұрын

Simmons and Wolfe are two that will definitely make the list 👍

Hello David, thank you for leaving a comment 🙏

Nice video. I also need to read Man in the High Castle and Roadside Picnic. I noticed a classic theme in the books you've mentioned. Will your sci-fi TBR include any modern books? i.e. from the last 30 years or so

@bigaldoesbooktube1097 Ай бұрын

I’d like to start Red Rising this year and in future years I would like to give Expanse a go as well as some Adrian Tchaikovsky 👍
