Plot-Driven Reads, No Hand-Holding: 1. Sci-Fi
A mix of hard and soft sci-fi, including both civilization-building stories and tales of the protagonist's growth. These are sci-fi novels I think suit my tastes: they have fresh settings, relatively complete frameworks, and are enjoyable to read. The male and female leads shouldn't be total airheads, and they should have some brains. The plot shouldn't be so predictable that you know the ending from the opening, and a few surprises are always welcome. The prose shouldn't be a string of exam-sty
A Haphazard List of Personal Favorites
These recommendations reflect my personal taste. The only thing all the books here have in common is that they're interesting enough to keep me reading. They can be about any subject. Lately I've been drawn to new authors with fresh subject matter. I can't stand formulaic fantasy level-up stories that follow the same template after the opening, no matter the setting. They often feature lots of gasps, shocked reactions, fighting above one's level, contempt, and so on.
