What’s something that you feel like you should like, but for some reason can’t get into, no matter how many chances you give it?

For me, it’s The Three Body Problem. It should be right up my alley from everything I’ve heard about it (especially the second book, which looks at the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter!), but for the life of me, I can’t get past the first chapter at all. I even tried reading it in another language to see if it was the translation that kept me from getting into it, and nope.

    maybe it’s too much goodness… like having chocolate-dipped bacon covered in cheese. chocolate makes everything better, bacon makes everything better, and cheese, makes everything better… but they don’t make each other better. funny, huh?

      Just skip chocolate (the latest trilogy) and you’re left with delicious bacon & cheese!

        yup. the best combo there. and cheese and chocolate works (kinda sorta. weird. but it works,) and Chocolate and bacon also works (also weird,) but all three? nope. nope NOPE
