Reading Dune last year warmed my heart and made me want to read more (broadly-defined) rationalist fiction, but any type will count. I tried Mad Investor Chaos but found it a bit off-putting. Will answer questions asked here as I see them. Feb 14, 10:08am: any genre counts, but has to be a long text form (no movies, no cute fictional sentences). I at least used to like EY's writing, but found his Mad Investor Chaos character annoying. I didn't mind the glowfic format. Feb 14, 10:36am: Graphic novels count. Have never read A Song For Two Voices. I find it hard to explicitly describe my aesthetic preferences, but here's a list of works of fiction I've enjoyed in the past few years: Y the Last Man, Heaven's Design Team, Too Like the Lightning (but not Seven Surrenders), Killing Commendatore. Things I didn't like: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Feb 14, 11:17am: I also liked Labyrinths by Borges. Feb 14, 11:45am: lintamande's parts of MIC were fine, but up to where I gave up, mostly responding to Eliezer's character, which makes it hard for me to guess how much I'd like something more driven by lintamande. Feb 15, 9:17am: Have read and enjoyed unsong. Feb 15, 1:47pm: I am unlikely to read a book that doesn't sound interesting to me based on a M$1 yes bet, and even less likely to read books that don't sound interesting to me recommended by people who are betting no. Feb 22, 5:29pm: Started Star Maker, would describe it as OK so far. Have "Star Wink" open in a tab, will presumably get around to it at some point.
