Got caught up in The Murderbot Diaries – what sci-fi to read next?
This I am reading right now, or more accurate am listening to.
It’s the fifth book in the series called The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. I started to dig in to this just after I watched the tv show Murderbot (Apple TV) with fellow Swede Alexander Skarsgård playing the main character. It’s based on these books, the plot not exactly being the same.
It’s a great read. They are good books to read in parallel with Thomas Mann's epic brick Buddenbrooks, which my friend Johannes and I are currently reading in our book club. The Murderbot Diaries are something completely different. Highly entertaining.
I’ve never been into sci-fi, but this might change that. During a walk through Gamla stan today I stopped by the book store Science Fiction-bokhandeln specialised at sci-fi, fantasy and horror literature and bought one book recommended by the staff: Leviathan Wakes by James E. Corey. I look forward to it.
Do you have any good tips for me as a novice in sci-fi?
