    I’ve been in a bit of a nostalgic mood lately, and I’ve been on the lookout for anything that focuses on atmosphere. I am trying to find a book to read that fits the sci fi catalogue, specifically something old or at least themed after classical sci fi. Something that makes me feel like I’m in a Yes album cover or a 80s anime would do well.

    Some comparible books that have made me feel this in the past are Imajica by Clive Barker and especially The Planet of Exile by Ursula K Le Guin. Anything that brings me in like these two would be appreciated. I’ve read up to the Dispossessed in the Hainish cycle already, and The Planet of Exile is still my favorite just because of the zany and interesting setting even though it isn’t considered nearly as good as left hand and dispossessed.

    Anyway, I’m already considering the Hyperion Cantos, but the characters aren’t too relatable to me since I’m still in high school. I would just like to see if there is anything else to consider too. Im not here to judge books by their covers, but even that helps if it reflects the setting well.
