Been reading a lot of Romance books lately. They are like a cozy blanket. For a to be considered Romance, are required to have a "happily ever after" eg no sudden character death. It ensures the author isn't going to mess your day up. Also, a lot of them have sex, which is nice.

- Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
- Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor
Blindsight by Peter Watts and I’ve just finished the sea of rust by C. Robert Cargil. Both are good, sea of rust was a quick read, informative on the world building with a fast enough plot that kicked in early enough to keep me read more. Blindsight, is a bit unique so far. Definitely interesting but it’s the two parter firefall im reading which combines the second book too.
The Culture series by Iain M. Banks. I actually randomly read Look to Windward years ago after being lent a copy. It stuck with me and recently started the series from the start. I'm up to Excession now. It's possibly the most "colourful" thing I've ever read. Often amazing, sometimes disturbing. The writing is second to none.

>short stories unearthed after his death. Very disappointing Perhaps that is why he never published them?
As Neil Gaiman tells, Terry Pratchett had his hard drives steamrolled upon his death to prevent any half-done work from being released.
