Yesterday I downloaded the audiobook version of The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin and spent most of the day listening intently. So far so good but it does appear to suffer from a problem I’ve noticed in many long novels, yes I’m thinking about the A Song of Ice and Fire series of books but they are far from alone, it does seem to dwell on details that at the moment don’t appear to drive the story forward. Perhaps at the end I’ll think differently?

It will be interesting to see just what a hatch job Benioff and Weiss do on the forthcoming Netflix series. Here’s hoping for the best.
