-Sea of Rust. It was about robots living in a post-human world. It makes you wonder what it really means to be a living being.
-Book of the Ancestor trilogy. It takes place in an ancient galaxy where all the stars are dying. One planet has an artificial moon that slows the ice from swallowing up the equator. The main character is a girl sold by her mother into slavery. She eventually finds herself in a convent where she becomes a magical assassin nun.

HMmmm will add these to the ole trusty kindle!
I really really like reading stuff like this, I just finished the spin trilogy and it was ok, the end was actually very good and for me made the series better.
Also seeing some other nice books in the thread will keep adding them to my library!
So many good books! SO LITTLE TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I must confess something, I think I am reading more now with the kindle than with regular books.
I used to have a ton of novels back in the day but found sadly, that due to me moving so much after my exile it is much easier to have stuff on digital , much easier to carry around!!! Also due to my failing eyesight the kindle suits me better, plus the weight and the backlight make it a bliss for me to read at night.
Very nice recommendations here so far, I also want to share something that is a bit niche, but I SEVERELY enjoyed it , it is a small history, in 2 books, known as the Gravedigger Chronicles
Very few people I have talked about even know of it, it is lost amidst the myriad fantasy, sci fi novels out there, but I always tell people to read it, for me it was like a dream travel, perhaps others might enjoy it ... or not.
Give it a small reading see if it hooks you, I just found the whole universe lore quite compelling for such an obscure novel:

and book 2

The ending was abrupt but within the narrative of weirdness.
And also on the issue of Wheel of Time, I once tried to read it , but I never made it past a few chapters, so kudos to anyone that has managed to read it for so long.

Wheel, of Time and Malazan have been for me not quite as compelling to me as to others, perhaps it is the way the author writes?
Thanks for your input, I will definitely be adding new stuff to my little trusty device
Much love as usual to everyone from the lonely Isthmus
