What are you Reading (September 2023)
Aside from Project Hail Mary which I assume every /c/sciencefiction subscriber is going to read what have you been reading or plan to read?
Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (August 2023)

Ready Player Two. About a quarter through it and so far I have little hope it'll get any better than it's reputation, even though I'm a massive VR nerd.
How's ready player one? I'm curious, but I wonder if it's a good book or not.
Ready Player One is a very good beach book, and especially so if you're a child of the 80s. Fun read, nothing groundbreaking, tons and tons of trivia and nostalgia.
It's bad, but in a kinda fun way? I've read it once, and then I listened to the audio book version read by Will Wheaton. I can recommend the audio book as a kinda dumb, fun thing to listen to while doing house work.
I dunno. Guilty pleasure, I guess?
Ready player one is fun, but kinda trope filled. Ready player two was a DNF for me.
It's a fun light read.
There's a lot of nostalgia, and a lot of hints at fun things about the 80s that the reader could have missed. It's Captain America's little culture notebook, but mostly for the 80s, and in light novel form.
Welp, since I wasn't alive in the 80s and a lot of the media I consume has been influenced by it, could be an interesting read! Event though a lot of things will probably fly over my head.
The second book was rough. I really had to make myself finish it.
