Thank you! This is exactly the kind of response I was looking for!

I enjoyed Started Villain a lot. Haven't read Embers of War, but I've looked at it before. Thanks for the recommendation.

You're the second person to suggest this. I didn't know it existed. I fascinated.

I devoured Redwall 30 years ago. I remember they started feeling pretty repetitive and I read one in my early 20s where there was a weasel who was MAYBE good, but then he turned out to be bad and I was like "OK, I'm done." I know he's written a bunch since then, but I feel like as I've aged I've gotten less interested in fantasy and MORE interested in SciFi. Not 100% sure why. I read a fantasy book every year or so.

I've read most things Gibson has written. Interested in things written more recently right now.

I did say "Contemporary." Love Niven.

I have not heard of this! Thank you.

Agreed, it's great. :)

They're OK. I've read several of them (also Battle Tech, Star Trek EU old Star Wars EU, MTG Novels, D&D novels, all a bunch of the same authors from way back when). Haven't tried any of the more recent stuff.

Bobiverse - It's up there on my list. I've also read Taylor's other work.

Expeditionary Force - I started it... it would make a better Amazon Prime / Netflix series than book series.

Dungeon Crawler Carl - WTF?! Lol, how did I not know this exists! OMG! Hahaha... amazing. Maybe this is it.

Zelazny - Read it in high school, remember liking it.

Cixin Liu - He's up there on my list as someone I didn't like.

Webber - Read a bunch of the Honorverse books two decades ago, same time I was reading Bujold and Cherryh and McCaffery.

Zahn - I've read literally everything Zahn has ever written, pleased to see him changing with the times (I mentioned this above).

Right now, I'm interested in things written a bit more recently.

I'm half way through the Martian from like a year and a half ago. I forgot it's in my Audible. I could restart it. If I don't finish something, there's usually a reason and I don't often go back. But I don't remember why I switched away.
