Martian Chronicles sounds like a good one

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is! It’s a very dreamy book, almost a collection of short stories with a common theme. Really enjoyable!

On this list there is also a book by Le Guin I don’t know. Such a treat!

[–] Reader9@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good call out, that one by Le Guin is part of the same universe as the very good The Left Hand of Darkness.

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 2 points 2 years ago

Oooohh, so exciting! The left hand of the darkness is absolutely amazing

I really loved The Three-Body Problem

[–] gabe@literature.cafe 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've heard excellent things about it. Is it worth reading?

[–] emilrudolf@literature.cafe 3 points 2 years ago

I would say, absolutely. Specialy if you like scienfiction. The book comes up with a lot of very cool (but hopefully not realistic) ideas and philosophys about alien civilizations, and about our own.
