  • Last book I finished was Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. Good read.

    The books I'm currently reading -

    Mainly 'The Three Body Problem' by Liu Cixin. Thoroughly engrossing.

    Also a chapter or two a night of 'Finding Your Comic Genius' by Adam Bloom, dipping in and out of 'Before and Laughter' by Jimmy Carr, because I'm interested in the art of stand up comedy, and 'A Stroke of the Pen - The Lost Stories' by Terry Pratchett. Also working my way through my old Asterix comics that I dug out of storage recently.

    Edited to correct titles.

    • Re 3 Body Problem - have you seen the Netflix TV series of that? And if so, what did you think?

      I watched it, as the premise sounded really interesting, but I wasn't a fan of the show at all. I'm wondering if the book is better, as I believe they changed quite a lot on Netflix including adding quite a few new (and IMO annoying) characters.

      • Not yet. I intended to watch it after finishing the first book.

        • Ah, sorry, don't want to put you off (bit late for that, I guess). Hopefully you enjoy it more than me!

          • Honestly, I haven't really been interested in TV shows in general much lately, so I'm not sure I would have bothered anyway. I checked out the trailer and even than shows that it seems to diverge quite a bit from the book.
