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?

      I really need to read Neuromancer at some point. It seems like one of those classics that every science fiction fan should have already read.

      I recall reading and enjoying Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep along with Man in the High Castle and A Scanner Darkly a while ago… I should attempt a re-read.

      Everyone recommends Neuromancer, but when I tried it a while back… I got stuck in the first third and give up. I vaguely recall it had a lot of world building, which I’m not a huge fan of (at least at the time).

      I just started reading Neuromancer last week after finishing Asimov’s Foundation trilogy.
