Great! Could you mail it to me, please? And let me know when you start reading it.

I just started reading last week. So far the progress has been very slow. Weekend is here and I'll speed up.

Hey I am up for American God. But I am already 1 book behind schedule and I have a feeling this is going to take up quite a bit of my time.
*Shrugs*

When would you like to start?"
I've actually already started but I'm super slow so I'm pretty sure you'd catch up.

I've just finished Cixin Liu's Three Body Problem (1/3). Anyone interested in reading the remaining two?


Especially second one, The Dark Forrest. After I finished it, it quickly became my all time favourite. Once you really get into it, I'd say past the first 100 pages, the story gets such a hold on you and won't let go until the very last. It functions as a great detective novel as well with the suspense building up and the really satisfying payoffs.
My favourite part about this book is how it's actually a genuine philosophical hypothesis that the author came up with but it is packaged as a sci-fi story. And it's fascinating how Cixin was able to pull that off in such a spectacular way.
After finishing the second book, the first book, despite being how good it was, feels like it's sole purpose was just to set things up for this universe. That's how grand this second book feels.
In the third book, Cixin takes it one step further in terms of space AND time dimensions. Here the story structure isn't as rewarding as the second one but if you loved the first two books I would really suggest you read this one too as it wraps up the story nicely.
Apologies for the long rant I'm just really excited more people are into this trilogy.
Also guys, it's usually true for almost all adapted content but
The Books >> The Show on Netflix that was recently released

I loved the first book too. Though it had its flaws, it kept me hooked for sure.
Do you wanna buddy read the next two?
