I just started Simulacron-3 by Daniel Galouye (which is the book that inspired the movie The 13th Floor). The book I most recently finished is Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. Found it at a yard sale a few years ago and was curious to read since it was all the rage in the 90s. I’d also like to read Dianetics one day out of curiosity since as a little kid in the 80s I saw those commercials all the time

Just finished re-listening to the audiobooks of the tie-in novels to the game Brigador: the first novel of the same name and it's sequel, Brigador Killers Pilgrim. They're by a former British armed forces guy who spends a lot of time on brutal gory combat, plus (at least in the sequel) morally ambiguous revenge turning into torture and carnage. Since they're set in the Brigador universe a lot of the combat involves mechs. The final impression is a bit like if Andy McNab wrote for a sci fi dystopian setting. I definitely recommend them and you can even get the first audiobook on Steam. For the second - which is arguably superior despite having fewer mechs - I think you have to go to the dev site or Amazon.
I heard something about one of the two brothers behind the game getting in trouble for badmouthing trannies, too, but cannot verify.
Next I probably plan to listen to the audiobook of Hive by Dan Abnett, since my friend said it's one of his best. He writes WarHammer novels and did the Eisenhorn series.
