Hey hey guys and gals long time no see... so its been what.... 4-5 years?

Life kinda took me away from reading for a good while there, it all started with a dead kindle culminating into an unhealthy PS4 obsession (hey, don't judge me)

Anyways, im back to data-mine from you lot once more. Posted Image

What "must reads" did i miss?

Hey DK, welcome back. Good to see you and that you're well.

Wow, do you have a fun couple of days ahead of you catching up with the "Reading at t'moment" and "Book I bought today" threads ...

But atm, I've been reading some LitRPG. Finished book 5 of Azarinth Healer and have started Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Simple, direct, no-faffing-about fun, straight out of a TTRPG or even a CRPG.

It was Sombra.

If you haven't read The God is Not Willing that's #1 recommendation. Then the Esselmont stuff that has come out (Path to Ascendancy). I've also done Cradle and Dungeon Crawler Carl in the LitRPG (both good, both build enjoyability quickly, but DCC starts out faster). Both really fun, lightish reads that can get you back in the groove.

For Sci-Fi Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir was really entertaining and a page-turner.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....
