@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! #sciencefiction#bookstodon
Started reading a random compilation of 1969-70 #scifi short stories that I bought while trying to keep #bookstores in business during the worst of the #quarantines - 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.
