Humans, still restricted to the solar system, and or just starting out ( not interstellar yet). Kind of like Pushing Ice, The books with with James Holden in them, can anyone suggest some good reads?

Leviathan Wakes come to mind immediately. Another I just read called Stardance is also pre-interstellar. And as I keep thinking Red Mars / Green Mars occurred to me. Or how about some classic Heinlein like The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress or Stranger in a Strange Land. And of course the extremely popular The Martian.

I second Rion's suggestion of the Mars Trilogy:

Ahh Levithian wakes that's the one with James Holden- read all 3 or 4 of them- last one has them jumping interstellar but still great.

Will look into the Mars ones, I'm pretty sure I started reading one where a female was outside a perimeter of a city in her suit and vaguely remember something about the sun being dangerous etc. Anyway will get them now on kindle- thanks for the suggestions

Any others please feel free to mention, I think I am a bit over jumping thousands or tens of thousands into the future, it's been fun reading sci fi when humans are still stuck in this solar system

Ahh also Kim Stanley Robinson- I read another one of his books 'shaman', not sci fi but really good read fyi
