I'm on book 5 of 7 on Dungeon Crawler Carl, one of the best and most hilarious sci-fi books I've read in years :)

Keep in mind every book on this list is 1 of 3 high-value votes for best of the year. This isn't a popularity contest, but rather a way place to dig deep into the books people loved above all others.

I actually think more people have access than don't... Even in rural and developing regions, there are grocery stores, just not as fancy. I tried to find numbers, but it was hard to find the right source for that. Anyone living in an u

Ya I think about as a kid I only knew two types of cheese, yellow and white. Now there is an insane number as just one example. And the fresh fruit and veggies are crazy. Blueberries in December? How and why are we doing that :)

I have to the Aggressor book series by FX Holden. It's set in the near future with AI, drones, and much more. It is a Tom Clancy-like book about WW3 breaking out over Tawain. Sometimes, I would come out of reading it and be unsure if I
