Goodkind is terrible. Truly, truly awful, and worse as he goes along. Don't even bother starting, IMO.

I thought Wizard's First Rule was decent enough. Pretty standard fantasy fare with nothing earth-shattering. Easy story to read. The second book "Stone of Tears" was also decent but any books after that are not good.
You're mileage may vary!

I've ended up on a re-read of
Rendezvous With Rama somehow. I read the whole Rama series years ago and liked it pretty well, but Rendezvous is the only one I actually own.
I also have 2001 on audiobook. I really like Clarke, and need to read more or his work. These two, Rendezvous and 2001, are the only ones I've read, if you don't count Gentry Lee books.
The Dark Is Rising didn't resonate with me the way it did when I was younger, and I abandoned it

The Algebraist. Had already started it when I realised it wasn't a Culture book. Oh well...will squeeze it in quickly.

A few days ago I read All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries) by Martha Wells. I'm currently reading River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey (cowboys riding hippos, what's not to love?).

No way! How did you get an ARC?
Plus, how is it?
