What's everyone been reading recently? (lemmy.world)

For me in SciFi I've been trying to hit some classics so I've read 'The Iron Dream' by Norman Spinrad, 'A Time of Changes' by Robert Silverberg and also the (recent release) 'Out of the Ruins' anthology.

Of those three I enjoyed 'The Iron Dream' the most since I didn't enjoy Silverberg's potraryal of women (and it doesn't seem to have literary intent like in 'The Iron Dream'.) 'Out of the Ruins had some bangers but it was a fairly inconsistent collection for me that mostly hasn't been memorable.

So, what are you currently reading or have recently read?

I recently read William Gibson's Burning Chrome and at the moment i'm in the middle of the Mirrorshades Anthology. Would Love some suggestions for collections of short SF stories from one or multiple writers.

I especially enjoyed "The Gernsback Continuum" and "The Winter Market". So if you have anything similar i would be delighted.

A few years back, I discovered the long-running military scifi series that starts with On Basilisk Station by David Weber.

It's my favorite novel series now. Anyone else a fan?
