I've been meaning to read:

• blindsight
• a fire upon the deep
• house of suns
• revelation space
• the three body problem

Could you help me pick one?

I just finished the red mars trilogy, which I mostly liked, but grew tired of the frequent multi-page descriptions of rock and other meaningless time waste. I'd like to read some books that minimize wasted words, if you know what I mean.

In general I'm a pretty forgiving reader. I read more of the Dune and Ender books before giving up than most people, I think. The only stuff I haven't been able to get into is Gene Wolf and Le Guin, although I did find the Foundation trilogy underwhelming.

Recently I've enjoyed the culture, murderbot, red rising, the bobiverse, children of time, project hail Mary, seveneves, forever war, and a few others.

Edit: I started reading A Fire Upon the Deep this morning because it took an early lead. Thanks for everyone's thoughts!
