Bunch of books I read in past year.

Bias in Natural Language Processing @EMNLP 2020 by Arthur C. Clarke. A hard sci-fi story about humans finding a space craft and the preparation about the first encounter with alien intelligence.
by Scott Lynch. Swearing has never been better. It is a delightful read, and the plot, as well as the characters, are well flushed. However, I felt that the universe, which sounds super exciting, was never really explored in depth.
by Amor Towles. Absolutely loved the writing. It was a fun read, set in 1939 NYC. But I felt that after the first few pages the setting of 1939 was not really important. However, I rate it lower when compared to .
and (The Stormlight Archive part 1 and 2) by Brandon Sanderson. The universe and magic are well fleshed out. The fight scenes play like a movie and has a large number of characters keeps the book interesting. However, by the third book, which I am currently reading, the plots start to feel repetitive. The conflicts in the character and the story arch feel too familiar.
by Ursula K. Le Guin. A well thought out a deep political theory and commentary on society transformed into a dense sci-fi novel. This book would make you think about your surroundings and would force you to examine your own beliefs.
by Greg Egan. A collection of sci-fi short stories many of which will put Black Mirror to shame.
by Emily Brontë. It will be my first classic. Till now, I am finding it an effort to read, but a rewarding one.
by James S.A. Corey. A space opera extravaganza. A hard sci-fi books with well fleshed out characters and story line.
by Robert Jordan. I really wanted to like this series, but this got a bit too boring after 3-4 books. To its credit, it starts out really interesting. However, I left the series somewhere around book 6. I hope I will get back to it someday.
by Michael Connelly. A forgettable experience. Nothing that we have not seen in the genre. However, to be fair, it is quite an old novel.
by Donna Tartt.
by Matt Dinniman. This was my first book in the LitRPG genre. I think the first couple of books are enjoyable. However, they quickly become a bit repetative.
by Monisha Rajesh. It starts as a bit boring. However, once I got used to the writing, it was fun.
(Book 1 and 2) by Dennis E. Taylor.
by Liane Moriarty
by M.L. Rio
by Catherine Ryan Howard
(Book 1 to 3) by Cixin Liu
