The book that actually triggered a love of reading in me was the Dark Elf trilogy in the Dungeons and Dragons world.

The book that then grabbed me for serious reading was 1984.

We just rewatched Chernobyl the other night. One of the finest mini series ever done, and he is exceptional in it.

Alternating between Mythic Quest, which is done by the It’s Always Sunny in Philly crew. It’s very good!

And The Terror S1. It’s also very good, and very dark.

As for hardware quality, I’ve had my Tab S5E for years, and it is super solid. It looks, feels, and sounds great. It’s one of the few samsung devices that can be unlocked and Lineage installed on. So, if you’re willing to put in the time to install Lineage on it, it’s android 13 and the newest version of Lineage on it.

Are you referring to the series with Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky?

That almost every alien species is bipedal and hominoid in shape.
