The new Netflix series "The Three-Body Problem" is based on a trilogy by Chinese author Liu Cixin.

If you're into the genre, I highly recommend reading the books first.

I agree with Marc Stuart - the book trilogy by Liu Cixin, which, yes has been translated and available in English for many years now, is one of the greatest sci-fi works ever. A great read. Amazingly vast scope.

The series is pretty good so far, but is worth comparing to the Chinese TV series, which is available for free in its entire first season (20+ episodes) on YouTube in Chinese with English subtitles. I haven't decided which one I like better yet as a TV series version.

The books are great..

A couple novels by Percival Everett that I can recommend: Erasure (2001) and The Trees (2021). Both great books: funny, angry, inventive, sharply written.

I only discovered this writer after watching American Fiction, which was based on Erasure. Really good film, for those who haven't seen it.

Grace Blakeley, "Stolen: How to Save the World from Financialisation."

Great book. Next read will be her new book, "Vulture Capitalism. "

It isn’t esoteric and it isn’t Hemingway but I like an occasional horror story. I’m reading a book called Bite by Richard Laymon. He was one of the best. Others I like are Steven King of course and his brilliant son, Joe Hill and Bentley Little. Bentley Little has an imagination up the gazoo. Richard Laymon was prolific and died at the untimely age of 51. He might have scared himself to death.
