Ric is 50% done with The Android's Dream

Had to go over chapters 3 through 5 again as it seemed I had lost track of the story. But all's well. Everything makes sense, moving on.

Ric is 33% done with Artemis

Cyberpunk-y setup so far. Also, very geeky with the technical details. Contrast to moon-based SF such as Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and McDonald's Luna series.

Ric is 50% done with Replay

Part 1 kicks early then fades. Looking to see what the author comes with in Part 2.

Much better than one might expect from the hokey title. SF through and through

Have the feeling the author has a hidden joke here somewhere and it's on me.

Ric is 20% done with Stone's Fall

Been a while since I've gone at this plodding listening pace before, but every part seems so tasty it's worth re-reading each chapter.

Ric is 90% done with Aurora

As with other work by Mr. Robinson, he takes this where he wants and keeps us holding on trying not to fall off.

Ric is 50% done with Mr. Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #1)

Maybe one of the scariest crime fiction I've read in a while.

I hope this story is going somewhere or I'm skipping to the next Expanse book

Ric is starting Lash-Up

Enjoying this mostly for the strong SF premise; otherwise another war simulation from Bond, Larry Bond

Ric is 20% done with Starship Troopers

Been reading so much military Sf lately that I though re-reading this classic novel would help re-calibrate expectations.

Slow start but the sense of wonder has picked up the latter half. Great so far!

Ric is 90% done with God Emperor of Dune (Dune Chronicles, #4)

Filled with Herbert's observations on religion and politics, but a fun re-read nonetheless.

God Emperor of Dune (Dune Chronicles, #4)

Ric is 65% done with Lockstep

Very YA, and the belief structure is starting to fray, but still readable. Ready for the author's ending.

Intriguing concept, hopefully it all holds together for the rest of the book

Masterful story-telling!.

Ric is 25% done with The Three-Body Problem (Remembrance of Earth’s Past #1)

Barring the stiff language of the translation, quite entertaining so far. Reminiscent of classic western hard SF.
