Reading Ball Lightning, by Cixin Liu. For now, I find it a bit less good than the Remembrance of the Earth's past trilogy I read before.
Ces livreurs payés à la livraison c'est pénible au possible... Vu qu'ils sont rémunérés au nombre de colis, ils sont près à n'importe quoi sur la route et en matière d'arrêt afin de maximiser le nombre de colis qu'ils livrent... Il y'a quelques jours, la femme d'un collègue s'est fait renverser par la camionnette d'un livreur qui n'avait rien trouvé de mieux que de faire marche arrière sur des centaines de mètre, histoire d'éviter de faire demi-tour et ainsi gagner quelques minutes...
Just finished Death's End, by Cixin Liu which is the last volume of Remembrance of Earth's past trilogy (better known from the title of the first book The three body problem). I enjoyed very much the 3 novels, great Sci-fi and I also learned many things about Chinese culture through translator notes. (note: I've not seen the Netflix show before reading it, because I hate watching movies about novels I have not read, it block too much the mental image I do reading the book, therefore limiting the amazement of reading).
Next, I decided not to read the fan fiction sequel but rather what is presented as a prequel: Ball Lightning, by Cixin Liu.
So simple, no images, no videos, no bullshit this just works... Now mainly out of habits and because I have some friends on it... Also some nostalgia about the time internet was more than http and so on
Using a self-hosted thelounge too and, as alternative if my home connection drop or so, I have irssi in termux.
Indeed with myopia glasses, I see the red in front like being out of the screen and feeling I can grab it
As with all those illusion it depends on how the brain interpret things... Perhaps your brain is clever than mine to see the image how it really is
No, I always prefer reading novels before any movie/show because otherwise it disturbs the way I imagine the characters.
