Book recommendations

[Texanclaret16]

Got back into reading myself and although not sci-fi but crime fiction NYPD Red, I am on book 2 and it got me gripped so much so I had dreams about it vivid ones like the people in the book came to life probably because I was reading till 2am and went straight asleep but still that’s how gripped I was by it ha ha ha.

i'd say the best 3 'culture' novels are:

3 - excession
2 - the player of games
1 - use of weapons

it would be great if hollywood made a film of one of these instead of the usual mediocre superhero/star wars pap.

Just about to finish off player of games which one would you recommend follows that one?

Start with "The Player of Games" and then do "Consider Phlebas"

Just seen this post, ignore the above!

I'm not a big sci-fi reader, but one I did enjoy very much was Extracted by RR Haywood. There are two others in the series too - Executed and Extinct, which I will get around to reading some day.

Mostly I tend to lean towards fantasy ~ anything by Frances Hardinge usually tickles my fancy - especially Cuckoo Song, which is probably my favourite ever read.
