Reddit mentions of Wool - Omnibus Edition

I read a ton on my iPad. Mostly Sci-Fi stuff.

I just read A Soldiers Duty which was very good.

Wool - Omnibus Edditon was probably one the sickest books I've read in a very long time.

Both are available in the Kindle and iTunes stores

Hugh Howey is very close to his readers. He interacts with them online through facebook and many outlets. Also I understand he does local events. He talks to kids in classrooms remotely. Responds to fan mail online. Does radio shows (internet one I have seen)

It refreshing to have interaction with an author.

Now add that to a impressive lists of books. The wool series is only one of them. I have read the Bern Saga and Wool Series and have enjoyed them all. I think each book shows growth in his writing and I look forward to the next one. The fact that he self publishes gives him much more freedom and a much faster turnover.

Wool by Hugh Howey

You can't go wrong with Frederik Pohl's Gateway. It's an older classic that won all the best novel awards.

For more recent SF, Hugh Howey's Wool Omnibus is outstanding.

In fantasy, I've really enjoyed Joe Abercrombie this past year. Good characters, good plots, and good action scenes. The Blade Itself is the first of his series...all his books take place in the same fantasy world.

I just finished the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey..It's not fantasy but a great book..

My favorite book or series of books at the moment is Wool by Hugh Howey. It has incredible reviews. It's about a society that lives in a silo underground in a post-apocalyptic world. The "omnibus" edition is books 1-5. All together they're about the length of a normal novel. The 6th one is around a couple hundred pages. They're all deliciously disturbing.

Read Wool by Hugh Howey.

From the description:
>This is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside.

I hope this AskReddit question gets on the front page just so more people find out about this book.
