I’m currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It’s pretty decent I’ve been making very rapid progress as it’s been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven’t seen the Apple show, but maybe I’ll watch it in the future when I’ve finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

    I’m really trying to read Three Body Problem, but I’m having a hard time following

      Stick with it. I loved the series, but the first book is unfortunately the most confusing and, in my opinion, the worst of the three.

        Really? I loved the first book, but felt the translator for the second had a different enough style that it was hard for me to stay engaged. Maybe I’ll have to give it a second try

          Yeah, it’s not that first book is bad. I just found it a bit of slow burn and it’s bit confusing, not due to any problems with translation or writing, initially.

          The second and third book is where the story really goes hard and it becomes massively expansive I found.

      I hated it.

      The writing style felt like it was written by a high school student and the characters were really two-dimensional with no believable motivations for their actions. Also the whole premise was stupid and unrealistic. There were few interesting concepts but they were ruined by the crappy presentation.

      I don’t understand why it got the Hugo award.

      Haha, that’s next on my list. I already have it on my Kindle.
