Weekend was good. On Monday I plan to keep healing up from my vasectomy Thursday, planning to work on the 3-4 projects I have assigned at work while listening to The Three Body Problem audiobook from my local library.

Generally I work too much; I keep getting raises but I don't need more money, I need more life.

How are you finding 3BP? I just couldn’t with that series.

If you find yourself irritated by it and still want some badass scifi, I recommend a book called Blindsight :)

I haven't had a problem with it, but it's definitely similar to Hong Kong Kung Fu dialog, which I just have to promise myself I'll ignore stylistically

The Netflix series is not bad, the Chinese original is tough for a western audience.

Hope it's all healing nicely! Mine is now already 15+ years ago, took about a week until it was fully healed. But I could already walk around at home and do smaller strolls outside the next day, and was doing regular chores on day two. Just waited about 2 weeks until I went running and cycling again.

Is the three body problem the original one translated from Chinese, or did they re-release it after the Netflix series?

I tried reading the original, but found the writing style way too convoluted for my liking. Same with the Chinese series, I watched a few episodes and it was just too much. Even my Chinese wife agreed that Netflix did a much better job.

Healed up (late reply and all), I dig the book, but the dialog is painful, much more than the vasectomy
