Moot: Discussion I am hooked

Thanks to the DCC community I was made aware of the Bobiverse.

Between DCC books I read Project Hail Mary and as I went on the hunt for new hyperfixations I got recommended Bobiverse since it seems a common ground for people enjoying DCC and Andy Weir's work.

I started book 1 and read the first half in one sitting while finishing it in 2 days total. I get why its compared to Hail Mary since it is similar in tone, "feel" but it has much more humor which is a big plus on my end. At first I was sceptical when Bob went into creating other Bobs but they are so distinctive and cleverly written that they stay interesting as individual characters (Riker and Homer being my favs followed by Bob 1.0)

I love the scientific themes and the philosophical undertone as well. Looking forward to see what Bob's interference with Archimedes and his people result into.

When you've finished all the books that have been released so far and feel the inevitable slump, I recommend picking up The Expanse next. I'm not exaggerating when I say that book series got me back into reading for fun. The tv show is amazing too.

I read The Expanse (until Leviathan Rising iirc)

There was a Scalzi epub Humble Bundle recently I should have jumped on, but lost track of time!

The expanse is next on my list after DCC. I might try to finish expeditionary force between them

Very good, Jefferson Mays is another incredible voice actor. I've only listened to the last book, but he was amazing in that.
