Embarrassingly, I’m awful at picking out books to read. Add to that the fact that we don’t have a nearby library in my city, making things even worse. It’s not that I don’t like reading, but I never know how to find things to read, and I don’t buy books unless I know I’m going to love them.
So I only read what I have to read for work, like the stories that I’m reading with my students.

The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin
The title refers to classical mechanics in calculating/predicting the position of three-point masses around each other. We only know how to actually measure this out with two bodies right now, thus the current exploration in Newtonian physics.
For anyone that likes hardcore astrophysics, that deals with a modern scientific understanding. It’s alien encounters, but mind-blowing physics, higher dimensions, heavy technological references, all woven with mystery elements along the way.
This is a translated book from the original Chinese novel, so I recommend some background knowledge on the country from the great leap forwards movement to now. There are also helpful footnotes at the end explaining cultural references. If you enjoy it, this is just part one in a trilogy that gets even crazier. It’s one of those series where the books actually get better starting from the first.
( 三体) - for the Chinese cover

Struggling reading Shadow Country by Peter Mathiessen… there are so many characters. I mean I definitely can read it and understand it, but it’s not easy. I find it similar to something I’d read in my English class.
