First, I know this is a love or hate book. However, I find anything that has to do with interacting with an alien life form/teaching and learning from it fascinating.
Some other favorites of mine are Hitchhikers Guide, anything by Robin Sloan (Penumbras 24hr bookstore, Sourdough), Ready Player 1, Phillip Pullmans two Golden Compass trilogies, White Teeth by Zadie Smith (LOVED this one). Howls Moving Castle also was great.
There’s a whole host of great medieval literature and history based books I read in college that I really liked too: A CT Yankee in King Arthur’s Court and Adam Bede are the standouts.
I don’t really know what to read next, I feel like I have such a wide variety of interests. However, I’ll say again, PHM was one of my fastest reads ever. I couldn’t put it down.
