I’ve been seeing her name a lot lately in terms of good science fiction and fantasy. I feel like I’ve lost so much attention span in terms of my ability to read and stuff and I’d like to start getting back into it, perhaps starting with her (or Terry Pratchett lol).

If I start with her, what’s a good place to start with her work?

    Rendezvous with Rama, Asimov Nightfall, Asimov The Disposessed, LeGuin A few Ray Bradbury stories (like There Will Come Soft Rains, which is excellent) …and a bunch of others I can’t remember

      Those are all fantastic choices! Rama is one of my favorites, even with the co-authored sequels losing a lot of the majesty that makes the first book so engaging.

      If you liked those books, I think you might like Hal Clement’s A mission of Gravity, about an expedition to a very high-gravity planet and the fascinating perspectives of the creatures that live there.
