In grad school, and after, I was in a job where I read and wrote lots of reports. Lots. In school, lots of text books and journals. So when I came home, I didn't particularly want to read any more.
To my surprise, I've started reading again. Retired almost 4 years now, and I've picked up a book. Actually, I reread "Dune" a month ago. Working on some other fiction now.
Probably should identify some new stuff. Always liked good sci-fi. I might reread some of the classics, like Asimov and Bradbury. Not sure whom today is putting out that level of work.
And it's so easy. I put my library card into "Libby", and I can borrow digital books without having to get dressed and go anywhere. Sweet.

I'm with you. In the Philippines I found a bookstore where I could get paperbacks for $1.25, read a few books, and collected Dean Koontz. I lucked out here in Fl and picked up 60 Koontz novels for $80, but I haven't started reading them because I'm playing Mr Fixit on the house. Every time I turn around there"s something to fix, and I've got to have my PC time. :)

I do an annual cycling trip and like to take a small, easy to carry paperback. In ‘24 it was Starship Troopers, last year Enders Game. Any suggestions for this year? Small, easy read, sci-fi. Classic sci-fi preferred.
Read Dune with my boys a few years ago. We all enjoyed.
Newer sci-fi I’ve read/listened to and enjoyed:
Seveneves
The Expanse series
The Martian, Hail Mary
Various books by Alister Reynolds (my kid has a collection)

I don't know if you could find it, but I have several books on my shelf from when I read a lot (i.e. they may be out of print). One was "The World Inside". I enjoyed Heinlein's "Friday". Several by Heinlein, actually ("Stranger in a Strange Land", "Revolt in 2100" which is apropos for this board since it deals with a theocracy), Poul Anderson's "The Time Patrol".
Not up on the latest sci-fi. May have to consult the Hugo Awards for title suggestions going forward.

I looked up the Hugo Awards, and last year a title "Ministry of Time" popped. So, I just borrowed it in Libby (app). I really liked "Time Patrol" a couple decades ago, so this sounds promising.

I've enjoyed the Murderbot series by Martha Wells. Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky was excellent.

I've enjoyed Muderbot. Waiting on Book 4.
From your rec I've requested Children of Time, long wait. Library did have Service Model and I've been enjoying it.
