I’m new to scifi books, and books in general. (only got into reading 3 years ago) I’ve read dune, the dispossessed , a fire upon the deep and the stars my destination. I’m currently reading the left hand of darkness . What should i read next? Suggest me some of your must-reads.

    The Three Body Problem trilogy, in particular the second book. It’s hard to talk about it without giving away the mystery of the first book, but it’s a book series that reshaped my perception of the universe.

    Otherwise, there’s Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy for some good old British comedy.

      I absolutely hated the first one. I read that the second one introduces interesting concepts, but I can’t convince myself to go through this again.

        The second one is better, the third is a return to the first. I forced my way through them, but honestly it wasn’t worth it.

          I enjoyed the ideas in all the books but he’s just not a great writer. Ball Lightning was also not very but I tried it just to see.
