Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Finally dragged my lazy @rse to the library and picked up both books. Independence Day looks kind of chunky so I'll start THH first.

Was in the library today so ordered Independence Day. Got the e-book at first. No idea how that works. If it's easy to load it on my Kindle I'll read it there but I also ordered the physical copy. And a Kingsolver too, whilst I was there.

I finished the 3 Body Problem on Netflix and really enjoyed it. Has anyone here read the books? I've heard they're a bit clunky so I wanted to know if anyone thinks they're worth attempting. I do read a lot of Sci-Fi but it needs to be of a certain standard ;-)

I read the first one and found it a real struggle. The science was interesting but the storytelling was very poor

Independence Day requested from the library.

That's the trouble with SF, - both the science and the fiction need to be good.
