Book of the Month Vote Here

Hello /c/sciencefiction, it is that time of the month. Time to vote for the book of the month. The options are loosely collected from the most voted and discussed books in the "What are you Reading" thread for August.

At the end of the month the poll will be closed and the winner will be the book of the month for August 2023. Myself and hopefully some others will read this book over the following month and then near the end of the month a discussion post will be made to talk about it. Feel free to participate or not at your leisure.

Once the book is chosen it will be set to "Reading" status on the community BookWyrm account here. https://bookwyrm.social/user/ScienceFiction Feel free to follow this account with your own BookWyrm account so other members can find you. This can help people find book recommendations of like minded science fiction readers.

Project Hail Mary is probably the best book I've ever read, lol.

"Consider Phlebas" is the ultimate 80's Space Adventure. I say I'm a fantasy guy, but that's my favorite book currently.

Great story, you've reminded me how much I enjoyed it. Thanks!

Have you read the rest of the Culture series? I’ve got them all on my Kobo but haven’t started.

Same! Haven't stayed up late reading like that in ages, if ever.

Weir's characters are always so 'alive' somehow!
