Time Out Of Joint | Philip K. Dick

Ragle Gumm spends most of each day entering a newspaper contest, submitting his guess as to where the "Little Green Man" will appear next on a grid. Every day, he wins. As Ragle questions the meaning of his repetitive existence, he also begins to question reality itself. Why is he famous? Why does he seem to be the center of the universe? Published in 1959, this was a quick and intriguing read.

It's been a loooooong time since I read the og 6 Dune books. And I've been avoiding these non-Frank Herbert sequels and prequels because I just kind of did not care, even though Dune 6 ended on a cliffhanger, then FH died. But I enjoyed the latest Dune films and am enjoying the series Dune: Prophecy, so I thought "could be fun to get back into that world."

"Fun" is not the right word, unfortunately. This book was fine bordering on lame. ?‍♀️

Loved this. Sometimes a little too fast paced, but a really cool novella.

First novella in a fun Sci-fi trilogy with a dash of romance.

There is a heist. And, without spoiling too much, neither Ada nor Rian are what they pretend to be.

julesG Some reviewers said the reveal came as a big surprise, but it didn't for me. Guess I pay too much attention to the details on and off the page. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3w

Andrew65 Excellent 🥳🥳🥳 3w
CaramelLunacy I really enjoyed this! Ada's voice is just so much fun, and I adored her cleverness. I also really liked the footnotes reports at the end (but I have a weakness for footnotes). 3w

Second Foundation | Isaac Asimov

For me, Asimovs Robot stories sit comfortably in a unique stasis between its 1950s style, dialect & atomic age paranoia, & the speculative, future worlds in which they‘re set. It‘s kind of simultaneously antiquated & futuristic at the same time. The Foundation Trilogy doesn‘t always work the same way. It‘s more severely & noticeably trapped in its old attitudes & kind of ages badly in comparison. But the yarns are ripping & I enjoyed the journey

There are several, but Scalzi is a favorite. And if Wil Wheaton narrates the audiobook, I will be in geek heaven.

BookmarkTavern I‘m looking forward to this too! I really only started getting into Scalzi this past year. Thanks for sharing! 4w

What a page turner! The world building was masterful and the stakes consistently high. I loved this story of a group of human scientists taken prisoner by an alien species.
