I"m about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through Translation State by Ann Leckie. Pretty good story set in the same universe as her other Imperial Radch novels.
Plato's Republic. Hated the Dialogues, and I'm still not a fan of the Socratic method (Yes, Socrates. That is quite so. I can think of no other way Socrates), but there's just so much to it, that I'm into it.
Just a note for OP, June is the sixth month, and you wrote 7 in the title xD
As far as what I'm reading, I'm starting 'Noble Roots', by Drew Hayes, one of my favorite authors. The book is part of an RPG-lit series that it's really fun and interesting. I'm not quite sure of where it's going, but I'm enjoying the ride so far. The first book is called 'NPCs'.
Blow-Up and Other Stories by Julio Cortázar
also reading this excellent collection of working class poetry, Hammers and Hearts of the Gods by Fred Voss
I'm rereading the "swords" series, by Fred Saberhagen. Been about a decade since I've gone through, and it's almost like a first read because I don't remember all the details after so long
Definitely worth reading if you like scifi/fantasy at all.
Translation State by Ann Leckie, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. It's a standalone novel set in the Imperial Radch universe, and I would absolutely recommend it.
I finished it a couple of days ago and I was very pleased. Ann Leckie expanded the universe in a really effective way. It also has a lot of heart, which I love.
Dragon's Egg from Robert L. Forward. I heard about it on the fediverse, and I am really glad I did. It's a hard sci-fi book about the interactions between humanity and a highly intelligent alien species that lives on a neutron star with 67Billion Gees.
I loved it! Haven't seen many people talk about it outside of whatever initial recommendation list I had heard it from. I really enjoyed the mix of hard sci-fi and socio-political commentary. Really reminiscent of Heinlein's best in that aspect, from what I recall.
I'm still working my way through The Social Distance Between Us by Darren McGarvey. I mainly read at work, so maybe only 30 minutes a day, but I'm slowly getting through it.
I also just finished reading through George RR Martin's A World of Ice and Fire.
