3 topics I enjoy to talk about and why?

Topics

Science Fiction

To boldly go where no man has gone before!  You’ve probably heard that saying before but I grew up with Star Wars, and And Star Trek.   I even Grew up with Buck Rogers or even The Million dollar man.  I love the fact that there were new technology and new ways to deal with problems.   I would go to cons in my area whenever there was one and I still might when they start doing it again.   I can remember the days that I would watch every single episodes of the original Star Trek and want to meet some of these people myself.  I can’t imagine I am no the only one.  This is why I listen to all these audio books because I just keep imagining meeting different aliens and knowing what the world will be like or how different it will become.

Technology

It’s all in how you see the world.  Yes it so much more better seeing the world when I know that there are possibilities that we have never imagined.  I see companies that are trying to innovate and then I see companies who just like to keep the things the same.   Without innovation we would not become even better.   I could talk about technology until the day I am out of breath but I wouldn’t stop just for myself.   I even like to know what they will do in the future and I imagine them to be so much better than before.  After everything we’ve seen, can it not get even more better than we could possibly imagine?

Games

The cake is a lie!  Lately I have been playing old games that can easily be played on my newer systems because the games reminds me where I came from and why I did what I did.  It’s all in how you approach the problem and figure out the problem.   I simply love to problem solve and see what I can do with the games.   I guess that’s why I love puzzle games like Portal, Subnautica, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020,  Half Life Series and Terratech or anything that lets me build or problem solve.   I can’t imagine I am the only one who likes these types of games because it is just fun to be able to do things and try new ways to play a game or solve a puzzle in the game.   I hope the game developers get even more creative in the way they will allow the player to solve the game or let the player figure a problem out in several ways.

These are just a few things I can talk about and still do whenever I see Something that I want to talk about on my blog.  These are only a few topics that I enjoy to write about and even might even make more topics as I see more things that I need to write about.   What are some things you like to talk about and why?  Let me know what you like and don’t and we can discuss them in the comments below.

I love Science Fiction

If you know me, I just love a good science fiction books to read or even listen to while I do other things in my life.  I figured it would be nice to share what I’ve been listening to on Audible and I love to listen to these books as I am doing many things in my day to day routines.   I thought it would share with you my love of the books that I have listened to and still listen to.

Expeditionary Force — I enjoy this series very much.  Craig Alanson does a really good job with this series.    I love how Skippy and Joe Bishop are working really well with each other.  The chemistry between Joe and Skippy is very funny and other times very serious.   Either way, you’ll be laughing when they interact with each other most of the time.  You can even buy some of the Merchandise from Craig Alanson and be part of the “Merry Band of Pirates“.   I suggest starting off with Columbus Day and working your way through the series one by one.   You’ll start to love this book as much as I do.  I almost forgot R.C. Bray does a really good job at voicing all the characters on Audible.

UES Aurora CV01 by Ryk Brown

Frontiers Saga – Another good series to listen on Audible or if you like to read it. Either way it’s very captivating and keeps you wanting to come back for more. Ryk Brown does an excellent job at making sure the crew doesn’t do something that is not in their nature. You basically have to listen to the first part of the episodes and just work your way through the whole series.   I’ve heard they have 5 parts already lined up.   So we are only on part 2 of the 5 parts series.  I am sure there will be more in the coming years.  See all the Parts of the series at Ryk Brown’s Site.

Old Man’s War – This series is a short but nice series to go back to from time to time.   I love how John Scalzi does this series and I kind of wished it would continue but there are a limited amount of books to this series and I must say the Audible book is really good to listen because all the voice narrators do a really good job at keeping you coming back for more books.  There is a rumor that Netflix has grabbed the rights to make this a film.   I am curious to see this actually happen but the book is still great to go back from time to listen over and over again.   I love how John Scalzi developed the characters and made them more real to me each and every time.

Ender’s Game —  This one I got interested in after seeing the movie that came out in 2013.   After watching the movie, and liking what I saw, I went back and started listening to them and others on Audible.   I started with the first book that I got done watching on the big screen.   The movie and book are always going to be a little bit different but I loved how Orson Scott Card developed all the characters and progressed them in the series.   It is another short series but still a series that I keep going back to from time to time.

Star Fire Book 1 from M. R. Forbes

Stars End — Another good series that seems to just started off.   You won’t find much in ways of books to read or listen to right now but it seems to be developing very fast the last few months since the pandemic has gotten more people staying home.   I can only guess M. R. Forbes was bored and just kept writing about this book and we should see a good series in the coming months.   I must say the first part of the series was quite dry but if you get past that, the series starts to get better over time.

Planet Side —  I must say that Michael Mammay does a good job at keeping the characters real and making me come back for the 3 books of this series.   I am sure there are more on the way but for right now it is nice to listen to these three books from time.   I love the story line and can’t help but listen as I am exercising outside or doing those thing that I love so much.

These are just a several books in my Audible library that I wanted to share with my readers and hopes they enjoy them too.  I do get a small commission for each and every time someone buys my recommends on Amazon and that helps me to keep this website going.   Thank you for supporting my website and if you have any good books I should listen to, please let me know in the comments below.   I’d love to get even more recommendations of books to listen to on Audible.
