Morgan's Altered Carbon trilogy (Altered Carbon, Broken Angels, Woken Furies) I actually preferred the later books in the trilogy. I preferred Dark Forest, but they're all quite good. The Dune series by Frank Herbert is high-quality, high-volume reading.ĬJ Cherryh, Foreigner and Cyteen are well regarded and looong, I liked 'em well enough.Ĭixin Liu, The Three Body Problem, Dark Forest and Death's End. Popular consensus seems to be to avoid Rainbow's End, but I didn't mind it so much.ĭan Simmons, Hyperion, the Fall of Hyperion, I haven't gotten to Endymion and The Rise of Endymion yet, I understand they aren't as good as the Hyperion books but still pretty solid. Vernor Vinge, A Deepness in the Sky, Fire Upon the Deep, The Peace war and Marooned in Realtime. Greg Egan, particularly Diaspora, Permutation City, Quarantine. More fantasy, but there's really quite a lot of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books and they're all really quite good. If you liked Patrick Rothfuss, perhaps consider Matt Colville's 'Hardboiled' Ratcatcher books, (Priest and Thief) and you can wait for another Book 3 that's totally gonna happen. If you aren't opposed to Fantasy, check out Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles (Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear) and you can eagerly await the third book that's totally actually coming out someday with the rest of us. Tad Williams, the Otherland Saga (City of Golden Shadows, River of Blue Fire, Mountain of Black Glass and Sea of Silver Light), these are some real door-stoppers and quite enjoyable, his other stuff is pretty good too, though mostly known for Fantasy I believe. Personally not a fan of Seveneves, but lots of people seem to like it and it does have some heft.Īlistair Reynolds, the Revelation Space Trilogy (Revelation Space, Redemption Ark, Absolution Gap), Chasm City, pretty much everything he's written has a high page-count and high quality. Neal Stephenson, particularly Cryptonomicon and Anathem. In no particular order, some of these may be obvious or repeats of other posters, I'm just scouring through my Calibre library for stuff I've enjoyed reading on planes and long road trips:
