  • I just finished the three body problem on audiobook a few days ago, it definitely would’ve been better to read a hard copy of it but I still found it to be absolutely amazing. As a huge space nerd, certain parts of that book created amazing visuals in my head that fascinate me, I’ve gone back and reread certain scenes multiple times just because they amaze me to think about.

    Almost done the 2nd book and it’s a lot more boring than the first but the end picks up quite a bit at least and I hear the 3rd book is great.

      Books creating visuals and ideas that are fascinating and demand further exploration and thinking are my favorite thing about books.
