I’ve put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It’s mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I’m going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

    Is that the one with all the complicated relationships? I found it a little too detailed on that point, but otherwise a good read. I wouldn’t read it again though. I read Rendezvous With Rama around the same time and liked that a lot more.

      It is about a revolution on the moon, and it had some complicated relationships (a very different society where there “clans” and basically open marriages), but I don’t it was that bad. My current issue is that I can kind of see through libertarian ethos that permeates the book and at some points it’s basically Heinlein pontificating instead of moving the story along… which my younger self enjoyed. Now? not so much.
