I read some free kindle books back in the day, that probably only a few thousand other people have read, so very plausibly no one on Lemmy has ready.

So, what books have you enjoyed that you feel confident no one else on Lemmy has read?

    I have never met anyone who has read Alastair Reynolds’ Revelation Space series. It’s one of my favourite sci-fi’s and I can’t even get someone I know to read it, everyone thinks it’s boring :)

      Great series, love all his works. He also wrote the Zuma blue episode for Netflix’s love death and robots

        Post and trans humanism, far future, long time scales, democratic experiments, aliens, old aliens, new aliens, robots, organic tech, living tech, harmless aliens. It kinda has everything. Space opera with some urban fantasy elements, but rather dark and not light-hearted. No FTL travel (at first, can’t remember if there was some at the end), which makes for interesting timescales.
