I love Neal Asher’s books, found him a long time ago in one of those “year’s best” collections of short stories from the library (though the ones with fantasy and horror were always the best, I think I read every single collection for every year and found so many good writers that way.)

They are full of action, good characters and worlds and ideas, sweeping and huge settings. Feels almost more like watching a movie to read them.

Who among us likes these action packed stories?

      My favorites are distributed around, and I tend to read in publish order so I have to power through some of the slower ones. They’re insanely good, though.

        To me many of the culture books start really slow/on the boring side but then they pick up and get really good. I really like how they often describe the culture not directly but through interaction with others.

          Both full Discworld readthroughs were publish order lol. The last go round included Shepherds Crown.

          And discworld has so much going on it prolly only matters for individual series. I have a cat named Eskarina and I’m sure a lot of readers barely remember her.
