I’ve found refuge in my kindle. I break the cycle by forcing myself to read books (trashy sci-fi novels mostly) But I DO want something to keep abreast of what’s going on further from my brain, and Lemmy has almost enough content to get a relatively neutral feed of information. Won’t take much to cross the watershed for me…
I love trashy sci-fi! Any recommendations?
All of CJ Cherryh's stuff, Ghoster (Lee McKee), The heechee saga, all the old (60's through now) scifi short story anthologies, the Star of the guardians trilogy. I used to trawl used book stores (when that was a thing) with a backpack full of trade ins . Used the anthologies to find authors, etc etc. Something for something, What about you?
I probably don’t have much to share that you haven’t read already. I used to love some of the older stuff like Heinlein, the Riverworld series, Xanth novels, Robert Asprin, but I find (for me personally) a lot of that style/era just doesn’t hold up over time. Most of the newer sci-fi that I read feels like it takes itself way too seriously, which has its place but I’m not always in the mood for that. I have really enjoyed the Bobiverse audiobooks though.
Robert Asprin is a new one for me, I'll have to look around, thanks!
