@bookstodon I'm looking for book recommendations for an 11yo who reads at a much more advanced level. He likes sci-fi. He has read the Hitchhiker's Guide series and loved them. I think he would enjoy some more 'hard' sci-fi as well. He needs something challenging but without subject matter that is too mature. Thanks for any help!

@rabbit_fighter @bookstodon Becky Chambers' Monk and Robot books?

@LawProf @rabbit_fighter @bookstodon He can get kind of pervy for an 11 yo reader, though? And Mouser is Not Great about consent.

Started reading a random compilation of 1969-70 short stories that I bought while trying to keep in business during the worst of the - first one in the collection has the main character being a professional puppy murderer as a child, and being essentially a pathological killer while also being a hero and the ideal military officer. He also thought he killed an angel.

I don’t know who Howard Fast is but he has issues.
