What are you Reading? (August 2023)
(lemmy.world)
I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.
Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)
At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?
Just finished KPS. Kind of a comedy / sci-fi romp. Not too serious. Lots of friendship humor. Interesting story. Definitely not in same category as heinlein, etc. But I liked it. It was a lot lighter than I was expecting.
Couldn’t agree more. A fun romp, not very serious. Very light hearted.
KPS is certainly not at all like Heinlein's most popular stories; but I think fans of Heinlein's young adult fiction (i.e. Red Planet, Starman Jones, The Star Beast) would enjoy KPS - for the tone/style reasons you mentioned.
Edit: Just speculating on how/why the comparison to Heinlein keeps coming up for me.
