Currently reading Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance and last night I finished Death’s End (final book of 3 Body Problem). That book series could’ve easily been cut down by hundreds of pages. Interesting idea but kind of hard to follow in a number of spots. I guess I wanted more aliens and space.

Death's End is such a silly book lol. Chinese authors can be incredibly tendentious and mawkish. It's a window into the mind of someone who doesn't have much self-awareness or moderating tendencies.
For those of you who don't know, the plot of Death's End is that a woman repeatedly dooms the human race and then the entire universe because she doesn't make 100% pragmatic choices. Also, an alien Japanese cyborg e-girl murders some people with a katana.
Also, there's a brief period before the climax where the author indulges the typical Chinese cultivation fantasy of a husband and wife living on an idyllic farm tended by servants.
Yea. The books took forever for me to finish and they felt like they had an infinite number of pages.
