I’ve not read anything in years. I was recommended 3 Body Problem but hear it starts very slow and I could do with something easy and engaging.
Think mindless action film but in book form. To keep my attention and make me read. Get back in the habit.

Forever War and Forever Peace are an amazing duo. I don’t think they are amateurish though, Haldeman writes these exactly as they need to be to represent the difficulty Vietnam vets faced returning home.
I like how humanity becomes a literal hivemind of Polynesians it rules but also making the enemies a totally mindless drone hivemind is pretty yikesy tbqhbbq
It’s interesting in that historical sense idk if I agree about whether it really expresses something we need to get abt the vets suffering after the war or something though haha, and that when he comes back from the time skip everyone is a hivemind of Polynesians.
