    I’m a slow reader and want to become well-read this year and 2027. What I want most to read is the essential sci-fi and fantasy literature. Something that’s helped is making a list of books that should be priorities for me.

    I’m a VERY new reader. Been reading since 2021 but it’s been a very slow process. I’ve read about 11 Cosmere books, the Gargoyles SLG comics, and Watchmen. Currently reading The Stormlight Archive. I would love more recommendations especially if they’re written by black or female authors. Noticed my list is missing those so far.

    These are the fantasy books on it:

    • The Stormlight Archive
    • The Hobbit + Lord of the Rings
    • The Silmarillion
    • Chronicles of the Avatar
    • The Wheel of Time
    • Malazan Book of the Fallen
    • A Song of Ice and Fire
    • Realm of the Elderlings
    • Harry Potter
    • Riordanverse
    • The Kingkiller Chronicle
    • Pact web serial
    • Pale web serial
    • The Witcher series
    • The Powder Mage series
    • Lightbringer Series

    These are the sci-fi books

    • The Murderbot Diaries
    • The Expanse
    • Legend of the Galactic Heroes
    • Original Thrawn Trilogy
    • Frank Herbert’s Dune
    • Red Rising series
    • Sun Eater
    • Children of Time
    • The Vorkosigan Saga
    • Worm web serial
    • Ward web serial
    • Twig web serial
    • Neuromancer
    • Bobiverse

      The Binti series by Nnedi Okorafor – these are novellas and they are amazing! They’re written by a Nigerian American woman author, and they’re some of the most imaginative books I’ve read

      Ursula Le Guin’s books – The Left Hand of Darkness, Lavinia, and the Wizard of Earthsea are my favorites of hers, they are all incredible

      Discworld books by Terry Pratchett
