Daneel Olivaw from #IsaacAsimov's robot novels, who sans emotions, nurtures by logic & morality the growth & flowering within himself of an all-encompassing love for humanity, a deep love and dedication to his friends.

777 followers · 156 posts · Server social.coopThis has been the year of finally reading gigantic #speculativefiction series/authors I'd ignored for years and then realizing what a terrible decision that was. Now I'm delightfully drowning in CJ Cherryh's /Foreigner/ and Steven Brust's /Vlad Taltos/ amid a Vorkosigan Saga reread, and it's overwhelming but pretty dang fun! #sciencefiction #cjcherryh #stevenbrust #vladtaltos #vorkosigan #vorkosigansaga #loismcmasterbujold #bookstodon @bookstodon

I'm terrible for having multiple books on the go. This results in some books getting sort of abandoned, not because I don't like them but because I got distracted, or it wasn't the right time. So, I'm starting a project to work through my abandoned book list, beginning this week with the classic work of science fiction, 'Downbelow Station' (1981) by CJ Cherryh. I started it during at a stressful time last spring and found it too demanding. #Sciencefiction #scifi #books #reading #cjcherryh

Specifically, I'd like just about anything in #cjcherryh Alliance-Union universe (preference given to #Cyteen and the #Chanur saga) in #Spanish #Español , #Italian #Italiano, and/or #Chinese #中文

68 followers · 32 posts · Server fosstodon.orgOver at #reddit there is an appreciation thread for my favourite #scifi author: #CJCherryh. Already in the 1980s she brought powerful, complex women into this genre. There are humanoid aliens, who are unfathomably different. And there is action, but also a lot of waiting for action while we watch a character or a situation to slowly develop.

My late-December book haul, in no particular order! Thanks to #ThirdPlaceBooks and #PowellsCityOfBooks (Not shown b/c they won't fit in frame: Python Crash Course, 2nd ed. and 2 fractal coloring books. Also, still waiting on a delivery. The package went for a little tour. I'm hoping to get my Tarot del Toro by my birthday.)
@mikechenwriter @neilhimself are the only two currently on Mastodon.

(Though, since it features a same-sex couple, I'd be outright shocked if I were able to find it in Mandarin.) #bookstodon
