Mostly reading dark worlds: dark/grimdark fantasy, cyberpunk, military & (nasty) 1st contact scifi, war/gulag memories - but with tough, survivor characters, fighting on for another (shitty) day...

Scifi for experienced scifi readers (random order)

Good, complex scifi, but definitely not for beginners! Complex layering, or complex worlds, or complex stories, or complex moral dilemmas and so on... but captivating for the seasoned scifi-er!

The Player of Games
Martian Time-Slip
Stranger in a Strange Land
The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
Grass
Perdido Street Station
Solaris
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Very good writing and style, but also very lame story (the space devoted to a certain sea crit broke the book for me, and i really did not expect, or want, sea adventures)

Good book with some good Eastern Front combat, but the MC is too super smart, super lucky, super brave, super admired, superhero, to be 100% believable - definitely less than other ww2 German veterans memories. Also, a lot of the book in non-combat (him in Germany and Italy).

The military part (the battles) is very good, but the rest of the plot is 4th grade (elementary school) level simplistic, basic, black&white crap... I really felt my intelligence as a reader was very strongly underestimated and offended.

Pov from the perspective of a thief. I hate thieves, can never empathise with one, so I cannot read this.
