It is several decades since I read the books, probably about the time I was working through the Dune saga, all of them being very good (although I am not sure that I stuck with all the later Dune books after Frank Herbert stopped writing them).

Dan, you can sign up for Apple TV + on any device and for a month at a time without longer commitment, so it could be worth a look: I think that you can also access the first instalment of at least some shows as a taster without signing up. A lot of good stuff there!

flotsam, I still have hard copies of my Asimov books too.

Thanks Lex...I will check it out!

I am just delving into the weird and interesting (too early to say whether or not "wonderful"} Exordia by Seth Dickinson: has anyone else tried any of his books, and if so what did you think? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_Dickinson

I am reading the most amazing book. I've been staying up way too late because "just one more chapter!" There is a good reason it was on the NYT Bestseller List.

All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker

This is the blurb on Amazon.

I'm continuing on with the Robin Hobb books, now reading the Rain Wilds books. These are not nearly as good as the Farseer and Liveships books, and I find them almost a bit YA, with a bit of bodice-ripping breathlessness, but they're still worth a quick read.

I quite like the sound of Chris Whittaker and I am about to start on Robin Hobb, but meanwhile I have been reading some excellent but very violent thrillers by S A Cosby: definitely worth a look if you have the stomach for it!

I'm reading Four Ruined Realms which is book number two of The Broken Blades series.

I'm reading the final series in Robin Hobb's Farseer books. Then I'll have a look through my Kindle; I must have at least 50 books I haven't read yet. There's bound to be something good in there.

I have the 3 Farseer books and All the Colors of the Dark waiting patiently for me to read them. I hope to get to them soon.

In the meantime, I've read two very good books. First is The Life Impossible by Matt Haig (author of The Midnight Library), which starts out with a retired and widowed math teacher named Grace being left a rundown house on a small Mediterranean island by someone she hardly even knew. The island is special in ways that Grace, and most non-residents, could never imagine, and her search for her missing friend leads her to amazing revelations.

I also read Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh. Since her birth, Kyr has been trained as a warrior to avenge the destroyed planet Earth. Gaia Station holds the last scraps of humanity, and Kyr is one of the best trainees of her generation. However, when Command assigns her brother to certain death and relegates her to Nursery to bear sons until she dies trying, she escapes into a universe much more complicated than she was ever led to believe. Excellent twists and turns in this sci-fi thriller and coming of age story.

I'm currently reading Starter Villain by John Scalzi. I really like the humor he brings to science fiction... and cats.

LadyK, some great suggestions from you as usual which I will have to explore! Meanwhile I am greatly enjoying Meet Me In Another Life by Catriona Silvey, gently reminiscent of The Time Traveller's Wife (which I loved), although I do not know where it is leading https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54698696-meet-me-in-another-life
