This has been the year of finally reading gigantic #speculativefiction series/authors I'd ignored for years and then realizing what a terrible decision that was. Now I'm delightfully drowning in CJ Cherryh's /Foreigner/ and Steven Brust's /Vlad Taltos/ amid a Vorkosigan Saga reread, and it's overwhelming but pretty dang fun! #sciencefiction #cjcherryh #stevenbrust #vladtaltos #vorkosigan #vorkosigansaga #loismcmasterbujold #bookstodon @bookstodon
@yerald @bookstodon Ooo, yes. And next do Cherryh's Morgaine series.
@golgaloth @bookstodon the depths of the #Cherryh well are a bit terrifying. I don’t know why I ignored her works for so long, but I almost didn’t want to find out she was so good, because now I’ll probably always be reading a few #CJCherryh books a year, given average human life expectancy and my backlog.
@yerald @bookstodon I discovered her when I was eighteen, and working on a building site as a chain-boy. That was over thirty years ago. It was almost too late even then.
@yerald @golgaloth @bookstodon I'm in the same boat even though I started 30 years ago 😅
Edit lol I didn't realize I was duplicating the comment above.... The problem is clearly endemic 🥹
