This was a great read for those intereseted in how AI can integrate into a Spacefaring community. The only stumbling block I came across was one of the main story arcs that included a rather boring character. It split the main themes of the story in two, leading to a little less momentum to carry through the journey of AI vs Giant Alien Dragon (sound super awesome, I know!)

Still - a good solid read overall.

Spending a bit of time in the verse. Airport reading.

This won‘t be for everyone. It‘s very many slices of life over the course of a lunar cycle, each with hilarious, somber, bittersweet, or Darwinian (satisfyingly looking in Jody‘s direction) tones. I wanted to follow some characters more, but then again, the look I got was also more than enough.

Also, we need more absurd ideas like the moon turning into cheese.

(I‘m also slightly disappointed that the title wasn‘t literal.)

I love this author. His books always make me laugh. Old Man's War is an interesting take on who gets to explore space. Would you sign up to fight in a war you've never seen at the age of 75? I can understand the draw of being young again, but to leave family behind in lieu of getting old would be very hard.

It was a close vote, but in the end, Foundation prevailed as June's selection for #ClassicLSFBC. A close second was Lord of Light, which will be the selection for July. Copies of Foundation should be available at most libraries, and I've see very cheap copies available on Ebay, the audiobook is available free on Spotify with a premium account. I hope everyone can find a copy to enjoy. @Bookwomble @Ruthiella @TheSpineView @BookmarkTavern

rwmg Subscribers to Everand (formerly Scribd) might be interested to know that their collection includes Zelazny's “Lord of Light“. 1d

These novellas are packed with philosophy of the most heartwarming kind.

Just getting into this one. I don't read a great deal of Sci-fi, the last probably being Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series - which I absolutely loved.

For May, we read about teenage Obi-Wan. I enjoyed a hormonal Kenobi. How did y'all like it?
For June, we have adult Obi-Wan who has recently been exiled on Tatooine. I'm looking forward to this one.
As always, if anyone wants to be added or removed, just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀 #StarWarsBuddyRead
