I'm beating the jannies to the punch for that sweet, sweet dramacoin
I'm reading This Kind of War a history of the Korean War recommended by Mattis. It's an older book so has some very dated terminology, and an older way of thinking. But pretty solid so far, very play by play.
I've been on a huge non-fiction kick recently reading Rampage (about Japan in the Philippines.) A book about the fall of Japan whose name I don't remember
and before that The Franco Prussian War by Wawro. I've liked all of them with Rampage being the hardest to read due to crazy Japanese crimes. I think the last fiction book I read was Medicus a Roman murder mystery that was really enjoyable.
Dramatards what y'all reading?

Interesting… I think I read most of Asimov's stuff but never his short stories. Gotta hit a library.

Most of them are very good. Hostess, The Martian Way, Sucker Bait and Nightfall are exceptionally good, and there's one who's title escapes me but it's about an alternate history alamo project and explains how they invented force fields, also very good.

I'm going to give it a go, I'm a huge fan of SF short stories but somehow never considered Issac as an author of such.

Have you read Burning Chrome? Gibson's short story collection. Absolutely mobs the rest of his work, excluding Neuromancer

I could never get into Gibson, something about cyberpunk never clicked with me. One new addition to my reading list is enough. I still have a brick sized Borges collection to go through.
I assume you've read Peepee's short stories? I actually much prefer them to his novels (minus Valis, because it's peak shizo)

I got through most of Peepee's stuff but imo his amphetamine addiction rly shows, the stories are disjointed and rushed and busy

I really liked The Martian Way, tickled my tisms. I also really like the Lucky Starr series even tho it's kind of juvenile
