Recommend me some books

Randall Munroe What if? is a very nice read.

I very much enjoyed Bernhard Hennen’s “Elfen”-series (and the books before and after it). No clue how good the translation is.

This is different reading experience from the normal.

I recommend the physical copy.

Try some Robert E. Howard series, such as “boxing stories” or Conan the Barbarian saga.

I’ve just finished reading the Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor. It’s sci-fi. Fun easy reading.

Blockquote

"Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. There are places to go, books to read, and movies to watch. So it’s a little unfair when he gets himself killed crossing the street.

Bob wakes up a century later to find that corpsicles have been declared to be without rights, and he is now the property of the state. He has been uploaded into computer hardware and is slated to be the controlling AI in an interstellar probe looking for habitable planets. The stakes are high: no less than the first claim to entire worlds. If he declines the honor, he’ll be switched off, and they’ll try again with someone else. If he accepts, he becomes a prime target. There are at least three other countries trying to get their own probes launched first, and they play dirty.

The safest place for Bob is in space, heading away from Earth at top speed. Or so he thinks. Because the universe is full of nasties, and trespassers make them mad - very mad.
