Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Oh thanks for the recs!
On SF, you might like Arthur C Clarke's short stories. His novels are quite great, but his short stories are where the gems are. Best example is "The Star", which the full text is easily found online. This kind of goosebump-raising stories.
The guy that wrote The Martian had a new-ish book called Project Hail Mary. That is stupendously good. It's a bit movie like in the pacing, humour and concepts (perfect for an adaptation), but the plot is fantastic, level of detail is well balanced, twist is AMAZING, character development is quite good. His other one about the moon not as good though.
@unhedged man, Clarke! I keep overlooking him. will get to him. Thanks!
