Alright, I have been TERRIBLE about updating this lately. If I don't get this posted now I'll just keep hiding this post forever.
Not even sure when I read I, Robot but I know I liked it. Its definitely unabashedly scifi though, heads up.
In brief, Meg Cabot's book was a chick flick, as expected, which I read because I needed a physical book to read on Shabbat.
Future Boston was a book written in the 90's by a group of scifi authors imagining Boston was sinking into the ocean and writing short stories about every few years for several hundred years. It was very interesting to read about the place I live, and some of the stories were really great. Overall mediocre though.
Life After Life was recommended highly to me by a friend but I recall thinking it was 'Ok but not great'.
Robots of Dawn/Caves of Steel/The Naked Sun were nice. I really like 'historic science fiction' and while some hate Asimov, I enjoy his details! It is always interesting to see how sometimes writers just couldn't imagine things that we take for granted today (ie - the internet. In one of the books the main character cannot comprehend that a fleet of thousands of robots could communicate easily.)
I really don't remember Insurgent. I think the 3rd book is out now and I'm going to have to re-read this one, or at least skim the wikipedia page. I bet that I thought that it was Ok but didn't live up to the first book in the series (Divergent).
I'm only just starting the Wise Man's Fear, but I've read both this and the Name of the Wind before. I cannot recommend these highly enough. Read them!
And now back to work for grad school...
