The Three-Body Problem

The Three-Body Problem (三体 / sān tǐ) is a science fiction novel by Liu Cixin. It was recommended to me on Reddit when I mentioned Blindsight by Peter Watts. The redditor in question said Blindsight had been the most significant scifi book they had read until The Three-Body Problem trilogy -- or Remembrance of Earth's Past as it's officially called. That was enough of a recommendation for me to check it out.

The Wise Man's Fear

In the second book of Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicle, titled The Wise Man's Fear, innkeeper Kote continues telling about his life as young Kvothe. While I still wouldn't call this would-be(-maybe?) trilogy one of my favorites, I wouldn't mind reading its conclusion one day.
