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?

Revelation Space, the only book within which I saw the word “triumvirate” used outside of the “Our jimmies are eternal. None can rustle the Triumvirate.” meme.

If you want to get a wider feel more quickly of the Revelation Space worldbuilding, try Galactic North which is a short story collection featuring many varied shippets featuring characters from the main series.

To an ordinary person not interested in sci-fi world building, I would be more inclined to recommend Reynolds’s Pushing Ice or Century Rain which are self-contained.

House of Suns is also fantastic. It’s my favorite one-book sci-fi anything ever.

Galactic north really got me deep, after finishing the main trilogy. Id recommend reading it after for the full effect
