Tell me what to read next based off of my 10 current favorite books:

Sphere by Michael Crichton

Dungeon Crawler Carl -Matt Dinniman

Leviathan Wakes – James SA Corey

The Premonition – Michael Lewis

11/22/63 – stephen king

I’m surprised Project Hail Mary isn’t already on this list!

(Ha ha ha, that was a funny joke.)

Seriously though, don’t mention the Martian unless you want to be drowned in recommendations for PHM and the Bobiverse books. Just based on your list here, those might not be for you.

You seem to like memoirs and true stories and Stephen King novels. Maybe a bit of a war theme too. Toward that end:

Stephen King – should I assume you’ve read The Stand?

Non-fiction – most recent I read was Educated, by Tara Westover and it was excellent.

Military sci fi -Old Man’s War, John Scalzi

Dark matter by Blake crouch

Seveneves, Neal Stephenson

Based on the reader’s preferences for books like “Ender’s Game,” “Unbroken,” “The Martian,” “Under The Dome,” “A Storm Too Soon,” “Say Nothing,” “Into The Abyss,” “The Deadzone,” “Midnight In Chernobyl,” and “The Boys In The Boat,” it seems they enjoy a mix of science fiction, historical non-fiction, and thrilling stories. Here are some recommendations that may provide similar experiences:

1. **Dune by Frank Herbert:** If the reader enjoyed the science fiction aspect of “Ender’s Game,” they might appreciate the epic world-building and intricate political intrigue in the “Dune” series.
2. **In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson:** This historical non-fiction book offers a gripping look at the lives of the American ambassador to Germany and his family during Hitler’s rise to power, similar to the historical context in “Midnight in Chernobyl.”
3. **The Revenant by Michael Punke:** For fans of survival stories like “Unbroken,” “The Revenant” tells the harrowing tale of a frontiersman’s fight for survival in the American wilderness.
4. **The Passage by Justin Cronin:** If they enjoyed the post-apocalyptic aspect of “The Martian” and “Under The Dome,” this is the first book in a trilogy about a vampire apocalypse and the survivors’ struggle to rebuild society.
5. **Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing:** This non-fiction account of Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition is similar to the themes of survival and perseverance found in “A Storm Too Soon” and “Unbroken.”
6. **All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr:** This beautifully written historical novel set during World War II offers a different perspective on the era, akin to the historical elements in “Say Nothing” and “Midnight in Chernobyl.”
7. **The Terror by Dan Simmons:** Combining historical fiction with elements of horror and survival, “The Terror” tells the story of Sir John Franklin’s ill-fated expedition to the Arctic in the mid-1800s.
8. **The Stand by Stephen King:** For readers who enjoyed the enclosed environment and suspense in “Under The Dome,” “The Stand” is a classic post-apocalyptic novel about the aftermath of a deadly virus.
9. **Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer:** This gripping non-fiction account of a disastrous Everest expedition offers a similar exploration of human endurance and survival, reminiscent of “Into The Abyss.”
10. **Seabiscuit: An American Legend by Laura Hillenbrand:** If they appreciated the historical context and the underdog story in “The Boys In The Boat,” this non-fiction book about a racehorse and its unlikely rise to fame might be a good choice.

These recommendations cover a range of genres and themes that align with the reader’s interests, offering them a diverse selection of books to choose from based on their preferences.

It seems you like Sci-fi ; I have only read Ender’s game on this list but I will always tell Sci-fi fans to read Red Rising!! First book lacks some worldbuilding and the prose is odd but I think that is on purpose to align with the education level of the MC.

If you like the first, you’ll love all the rest.

*Remnant Population* by Elizabeth Moon. Great book!

Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons

Amazonia by James Rollins

Sandstorm by James Rollins

Literally anything James Rollins has ever written
