[QUOTE="Eyes of Nine, post: 9126820, member: 99786"] Great recommendations across the board here. And some of which I was not aware of so 🙏 to folks who mentioned new-to-me books/series! Adding here some more novels [LIST] [*]Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, specifically [I]Grave Peril[/I] (vol 3) or [I]Summer Knight[/I] (vol 4) is where he really started to hit his stride. An adult urban fantasy series that continues to deliver high quality novels (imho) [*]Becky Chambers: [I]The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet[/I]. While the Monk and Robot books are v nice, TLWtaSAP was initially funded by Kickstarter, and if that's not 21st century, I don't know what is... [*]Max Gladstone's The Craft Sequence, I just love. Of those, I really liked the third one, [I]Full Fathom Five[/I]. [*]Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch novels - and I'd just start with the first one [I]Ancillary Justice[/I] [*]Speaking of urban fantasy (except it takes place in small town bayou Louisiana), I'd actually say the Sookie Stackhouse novels are great fun; and a different take on the modern-day fantasy genre. Skip the TV show, and start with [I]Dead until Dark[/I] [*]Scalzi, in my opinion, is a modern Heinlein, but without the baggage of an early Twen-Cen denizen. [I]Old Man's War[/I] is up there with Starship Troopers and the Forever War. [*]Lots of people liked Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, for good reason. But I think [I]Piranesi[/I] is a stronger, tighter novel (novella?) [/LIST] I could keep going, but we've got a nice list here. I think I was able to quote everyone so now this post can serve as a list capturing what people put in here. I might do the same in some of the other threads... [/QUOTE]
