The Summer Reading Lists 2023



David’s Picks




Terry Pratchett

Small Gods



Moving Pictures



Jingo



Discworld Reading Guide





The Gods of HP Lovecraft

Collection of short stories by modern authors, without all of the racism in it





Legends II

Another short story collection



David's not sure of the overall theme/world, but understands it’s another shared setting





Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut

Pretty heavy, David's wanted to read it for a while so he is taking this opportunity to put it on the pile





Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke



The Library Connection

David hasn’t lost access to the library and it’s apps, so he expects this list to swell






Ken’s Picks




Ken launched his 16th annual reading list



Dragons of Deceit by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

A return to Dragonlance after more years away then Ken can easily remember.



Destina Rosethorn seeks to travel back through time to save her father, who died in the War of the Lance.





Star Wars: Lesser Evil (Thrawn Ascendency, Book 3) by Timothy Zahn

The final book of the second Thrawn prequel series. Yes, this was on Ken’s list last year. Yes, he didn’t read it.





Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty

A murder mystery on a sentient space station.



Released in October 2022, so it wasn’t on last year’s reading list. 



The next book in the series, Chaos Terminal, drops in November 2023.





Dead Moon (Threshold Universe, Book 3) by Peter Cline

LOST meets Lovecraft meets weird science.



Began with “14”, in which people living in an apartment building discover something very strange is going on in their basement. Continued with The Fold, which involved visiting another realm … and dealing with the consequences of those visits





Implacable (The Lost Fleet: Outlands Book 3) by Jack Campbell

Admiral John “Black Jack” Geary has taken his fleet beyond the frontier and is battling the dangerous and cryptic Enigma aliens. If only he wasn’t also fighting Alliance politicians back home, who are concerned he’ll use his immense popularity to seize control of the government





Graphic Novels

Hellboy: The Bones of Giants

Need some new horror graphic novels. Open to suggestions - Ken’s read most of the Hellboy and BPRD books.





Atomic Robo?



Transmetropolitan?
