I'm in the middle of War and Peace and I'm really enjoying it. I don't get the reputation it has as a hard book to read. It's not a difficult book at all.

after war and peace ive went on a strugatsky brothers kick. i read the doomed city and roadside picnic. both are really good and i like how they dont waste time giving long explanations of the world, it just exists and here are the characters and the challenges they face. roadside picnic was really good. ive seen tarkovskys movie a few times and played the games and always thought the games were good but they really missed the point of the book.

now its time for american true crime. specifically in cold blood. good book so far, but i have to stop myself reading it as truman capote as played by philip seymour hoffman.

I'm two thirds of the way through The Three Body Problem and...it loving sucks. It's so boring. I feel like the author crams in a bunch of technical bullshit to cover up a mediocre story. I don't loving care about the wavelength size of the red coast dish. If I wanted a technical journal I'd read PLOS One. Unless it picks up I don't think I'm gonna finish the trilogy.

I'll give the Mars trilogy another try. I bailed in the middle of Red Mars after it seemed like all they did was have space orgies.
