Finished Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. First half was pretty dense and slow, but second half, when things were getting obvious, and plans finally getting into motion, were very interesting, and was able to read them in just a few days.
It meets criteria for at least 3 different Bingo boxes, not sure where to place it. Would decide it later. ( @JaymesRS@literature.cafe We can do that right? Move them around different boxes after reading more books?)
Now I have just started Sunreach by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. It’s first of three novellas, which are between book 2 and 3. (Well, third novella is generally recommended to be read after book 3, but that’s a separate topic). It’s a small book, so hopefully will be able to finish it soon.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post
We will be unfeaturing those posts now, so they won’t be sticky on the top anymore. They will be mentioned in each weekly thread though, and you can also check them in community sidebar.
I’ve been working my way through the Remembrance of Earth’s Past series (Three Body Problem books). I’m on Death’s End now.
Overall, I love the ideas explored by the series. I think the writing style isn’t really my jam. It’s a bit boring/slow in parts, almost “matter-of-fact” in its prose. I tend to prefer more descriptive, flowery writing. Granted, maybe some of that is due to being translated / cultural differences in writing style.
It’s interesting when people forget actual name of the series, like “Game of Throne series” instead of A Song of Ice and Fire. Didn’t know Three Body Problem series have a name.
Yeah, while people generally like the books, it’s generally agreed upon (at least in this community) that it’s a bit of a slog to go through.
