The Silo series by Hugh Howey -- some excellent sci-fi to go along with the show

The Red Rising series by Pierce Brown -- lots of sci-fi fun, extremely epic

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King -- King's "Lord of the Rings" opus, great writing, ending maybe a little unsatisfying but not abnormal

Artemis - Andy Weir's first book -- Fun read about a heist on the moon. Anticipating Project Hail Mary movie early next year!

Currently in the middle of: The Talisman - Stephen King / Peter Straub

I just finished the red rising series this year. Do you have any other recommendations in the same genre?

    The Will of the Many. I’m about to start Red Rising series as it’s similar to it.

      I've heard this too but haven't gotten there yet. I'm just waiting for Red God to drop this summer and finish it all off.

      Enjoy, Red Rising was pretty darn good.

I did watch the show (Silo) and didn't find it that interesting. Hoping the books are better.

Wasn’t ‘The Martian’ Andy’s first book?

    Nevermind, you're correct.. The Martian did come first... which makes me excusing some things in Artemis a little odd now.
