I have never done an audiobook before, but I figured I would try and listen to something while I am at the gym.

Big fan of Game of Thrones, Kingkiller Chronicles, Star Wars EU books. Are there any other must read book series out there that CE recommends? I have gotten recs for The Wayward Pines trilogy so far and Stormlight Archive. Anyone vouch for those? Wheel of Time looks interesting too, but it also seems very long...

If you are a fan of audiobooks, you aren't getting the full Sci-Fi experience. The first thing that comes to mind with that stuff is the movies. What else do you think the genre represents? A far away world that is different, perhaps impossible, or at least unknown, in our own world? Perhaps not. We are just one of many. As our world gets smaller, and the idea of the "other" keeps becoming more feasible, that's where we end up as a culture. The big-budget science fiction movies (especially in the last 20 years) are now more about how much of a faraway fantasy that reality can be, but this is only one part of the equation. The science fiction storylines have been growing ever smaller, and our own world has gotten more like that of our otherworldly cousins in our literature. There are books out there, written by regular humans, with no special or unique powers or abilities. Yet these books, some more successful than others, are being published as audiobooks. Their stories are fantastic.

I really like how you can come up with all this shit and type it within two minutes. You're a pretty creative guy.

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

If you're so great then why do you corrupt those who are just as great?

Red rising.
One of my favorite series. I think of it as sci fi made for fantasy fans. High octane.
