Very fair. Good luck finding a new book

Tried any Jack McDevitt? I like both of his main series (Alex Benedict and Priscilla Hutchins ones). Remember enjoying deep six, chindi, and seeker in particular. He has a unique feel which I think I saw someone describe as science fiction archaeology which I think is apt.

I think if we sticky a thread for voting we can get something chosen to discuss by the end of the month. You want me to write it up and post it?

It could be that I listened to them on audiobook but I kinda pictured an Arnold/Terminator kinda person.

That's what I've done at !printsf@lemmy.ca but to be honest theur hasn't been a lot of engagement. Would be happy to run the one here if you'd like.

I'll plug the !printsf@lemmy.ca community. Two months in and last months read was Iain Banks Player of Games and this months is Winter World by A.G. Riddle. Usually have a vote thread 6 weeks before the end of the month to pick a new one.

Maybe do a series of horror movie watch parties for October instead?

But battling the small community issue in printSF and Detroit Lions. Makes me miss Reddit.

It's not too late to start the drinking game. Soooo good.

World of Tanks is similar too. A little faster paced perhaps but doing the right thing in the right place is a 1000% more important than reflexes imo. Never played in clans and it might be different at that level.
