Book tastes

In fiction, I tend to prefer genre fiction over literary—I’m a big fan of both Star Trek and Star Wars, so almost anything that’s from or is similar to one of those would be good.
In nonfiction, I like reading about history—particularly Roman, but anything’s good; and philosophy—I’m a practising Stoic, and I’d be interesting in reading more about Buddhist philosophy.

Don't get this!

I don’t like ancient alien or other “alternative history” nonsense; it all tends to boil down to “non-white, *primitive* races couldn’t possibly build their ancient monuments on their own, so it must be aliens/secret European aid!” and the blatant inaccuracies and contradicitions are an insult to the reader. Also, I despise Randian/objectivist philosophy and the like; that’s really just a weak attempt to justify being a terrible person.

Secret Santa

Artoriarius's Secret Santa was katemcangus!

ilgarcon: Luna by Garron Whited is a great science fiction novel. It's a stand-alone, so you get the whole story in one book. <3 (Dec 4, 2023, 12:35pm)
karenb: Santee might like the space opera [A memory called empire] by Arkady Martine (9781250186447, $18.99).
