I picked up two sequels to books I don’t have the previous parts to, along with a novel starring Norby the Robot, whom I can only assume is a well known, beloved character. 📚🤖

@chrisd oooh N.K. Jemisin, you're in for a treat

@Annie I'm excited! I've only read her short fiction, but everyone raves about the novels.

@chrisd I read a lot of Norby books in middle school; sheesh it’s been a while.

…I think it was my first exposure to telepathy as a concept, come to think of it. Might be why I read so many.

@chrisd 2061 - I enjoyed that but I did read both 2001 and 2010 first. Hope you enjoy regardless!

@oddevan ooh nice! Glad Norby is totally memory holed. I’m excited to give it a read.

@chrisd oh… Obelisk Gate should not be read first. No way.

@jsonbecker Not planning to! I'll read the first book when I find a copy, then I'll read Obelisk.

@chrisd phew. There are some series that it’s maybe not such a big deal, I just wanted to make sure that you weren’t under that impression in this case.

@jsonbecker 😎👍
