[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8784114, member: 20564"] I've been reading two different subseries of Discworld physically, and a lightweight series on kindle/my phone. Well, just phone. Discworld I've started both the Night Watch and the Moist von Lipwig lines. Generic for all of them - if you haven't read Discworld series by Sir Terry Pratchett, go do so. But don't start at the earliest chronologically written - his writing style and the Discworld itself was still maturing. Read the Witches, or Night Watch, or whatever. Google Discworld reading order for some entry points. I've read Guards! Guards! and Men at Arms and in the middle of Feet of Clay. Definitely see the evolution there. Later in time in the Discworld are Going Postal, Making Money, and I'm reading Raising Steam. My "on-phone-for-when-have-some-expected-downtime" series is the Bobiverse by Dennis E. Taylor. It's about a man who [ISPOILER]dies, is later "resurrected" scanned in to a computer as one applicant to run Von Neumann probe (self-replicating spacecraft) that ended up being the only one to launch at the start of another world war[/ISPOILER]. It's lighter then you might expect, but I'm into the 3rd (short) book and things have gotten heavier starting in the second one. It's free on Kindle Unlimited, and exceeds the cost of time to read it. Some of them haven't. [/QUOTE]
