Galaxy’s Edge.
If you dig space operas it’s badass. Politically incorrect. First 2 books I was like meh. Persevere. But there is an order the authors recommend reading as opposed to chronological. I deviated for a book or two then Came back. I whole heartedly recommend following their reading order. I’m not done with the series yet but getting close.
That is all.

Dude, lots of books but pretty quick reads. Not high brow by anyone’s standards, but with enough character development I’m like 10 books in.

They tie in current politics without being overt. You can ignore it and appreciate it as a time waster, or be like “fugk yeah”.

I’m currently listening through CS Lewis’ space trilogy that starts “Out of the Silent Planet”. I’m on the second book “Perelandra” and I’ve em enjoyed it thus far.

The series Thunder over the Ochoco. Series of the longest indian wars in our country. And a history of the northwest, exploration through the sheep and cattle wars. Great read!

Matthew chapter 11 " He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. 20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: 21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee."

No, it's in the "your head is wrapped around a light pole and you're cryin' for your Mommy and you start prayin'" section.

Last time I saw it in a bookstore, it was a couple of shelves down from the Harry Potter series.
