review
The Three-Body Problem
My rating: 2/5
This book was terrible, hard to read and plodding for long stretches. But the last 20% was great. The science portions of the fiction are exhilarating. But the characters and psychology are under developed. Im definitely going to read the next one.
Yaaaay, my book has arrived
I am a serious reader, and one good thing about the offseason is having time to get caught up.
The folks at Pitcher List asked me to provide some recommendations, and I was happy to do it.

Over at the Chicago Review of Books I looked at Zahra Hankir's Eyeliner: A Cultural History.
Libro Recomendado: "A CORAZN ABIERTO", de Elvira Lindo.
SINOPSIS:
El auge y declive de una gran pasin, el amor feroz de dos personas que parecan conjurarse en contra de una vida serena.
Partiendo de un episodio ocurrido en Madrid en 1939, la narradora de esta historia cuenta la apasionada y tormentosa relacin de sus padres, y cmo la personalidad desmedida de l y el corazn dbil de ella marcaron el pulso de la vida de toda la familia.
A corazn abierto es una novela que recorre nuestro pas a lo largo de un siglo de grandes cambios y encierra un homenaje a una generacin, la de quienes permanecieron en Espaa en la inmediata posguerra, aquellos que, sin queja ni lamento, se concentraron en sobrevivir.
Desde la mirada emptica y curiosa de una gran observadora que sabe transformar en ficcin cada destello de la memoria, Elvira Lindo convierte a sus padres en personajes literarios para aproximarse a ellos con libertad,lucidez y sabidura. Como si de una composicin musical se tratara, cada captulo es una demostracin de gran tcnica puesta al servicio del puro placer de narrar las luces y las sombras de un pasado convertido para siempre en gran literatura.

Nov. 28, 1965 Arlo Guthrie Convicted of Littering
And why, you may ask, why is that worthy of note Some of you know the answer. Anyway, read on:
From my personal library: the memoirs of right-wing extremist Ernst von Salomon (), purchased by the owner during a Massachusetts outing in 1963 & signed by the Brocks. Not a book I would ask my friends to sign, and an odd choice for future hippies, but such are the discreet charms of
I Scandals Bride by Stephanie Laurens ( 3/Cynsterverse). I enjoyed this series when I was first them years ago, but the have lost something on repeat. Im already skipping 2 & 4. With this one, the nonsensical plot line is bothering me. CW for questionable consent.
As you read the introduction, you begin to think this aint gonna be no ordinary cookbook, and youre quickly proven correct.
