someone please recommend a very short novel with prose so good it’ll make me sick. just read an acclaimed Hugo-winning work of #scifi and it was... real bad #books
haha it is *not* The Three-Body Problem, which I also did not like, but thanks for reminding me the first 1/4 of The Dark Forest is probably the worst writing I have ever read

@[email protected] I know you aren’t going to name it, so I’m just going to assume it was The Three-Body Problem.

my tweets while reading The Three-Body Problem and The Dark Forest are pretty funny. I was mad. “it has the emotional depth of a table of nutrition facts”

“there’s a waifu-based sequence in the second book that may be the most horrendous piece of writing I’ve ever read, and most incredibly, it is intended as a commentary on the essence of great literature” #books #scifi

@davidcrespo I've read all three books and I wholeheartedly agree with you. They're still good. The sequence in (I think) The Dark Forest where higher dimensions are described is absolutely astonishing.
