i spent so much of last year reading research based nonfiction that i forgot i could read for FUN and boy is this book a fkn ride
quality, humorous science fiction written in the 50s. of course there are some unsavory snags because of the time period in which it was written, but all in all it's a fantastic cheeky commentary that feels as relevant today as it must've then.
if u like sexy aliens, love (?) triangles, and anti-war comedy, this is a good one!

it takes so long to get into, with all those weird words, but it’s just a lotta fun and a cool read nonetheless.
i’d also like to mentionnnnn that Le Carre, specifically A Spy Who Came In From The Cold, is great (though I haven’t finished it yet 😭 the writing is veryyyy gripping, and it’s got enough going on to keep you interested.)
i’ve developed a penchant for older books/media, for no apparent reason loll, but yeah 😊😊

i came across this rec quite randomly and i haven't read sci-fi in so long, i wondered if it would be too much for me but this book was delightfully fun! the main character wakes up from a coma aboard a spacecraft and pretty much has to work his way backward to remembering why he is here, what he is doing here, who even he is, so on. the last sci-fi i had read was the 'artemis fowl' series when i was a kid which i genuinely enjoyed so much that i had quite a lot of expectations for this one- it wasn't what i expected but definitely wasn't a let down too (struggling to review without giving a spoiler so just rambling)

This is how you lose the time war is an amazing read! It‘s main driver is romance and is set in a si-fi world, and I loved it despite being not the biggest fan of either!
It’s a short read and so worth it and is my go to book recommendation for anyone. It’s beautiful, gripping and just so well done, cannot recommend it enough!
