Book tastes
Really into science fiction (working my way through all the Hugo and Nebula winners for best novel), especially space operas. I really enjoy sci fi that deals with geopolitics, lost colonies/worlds, ships, etc. "The Expanse" is my favorite series of all time. I'm also into non-fiction historical books. I like critical history books, especially biographies where the biographer does a good job of not praising a historical figure (Ex: Robert Caro's books on LBJ). I also love to cook and am very into NFL football (Packers fan).
Don't get this!
Any Young Adult oriented sci fi. Nothing again the genre, it just doesn't appeal to me personally.

- You might like the Vorkosigan Saga, although you might find it has too much YA aspect to it. (Nov 28, 2023, 7:07pm)
