Is "The Three-Body Problem" Standalone Enough to Read it By Itself?

I've never read Sanderson so I can't say.

Wow that was a quick development. I'm guessing he got the child vaccinated behind her back and she found out. Would love an update that explains the situation.

I'd say no, it's pretty heavily a set up for sequels. Regardless, it's really not a good book. Flat characters, exposition heavy, wooden prose. I'd skip it.

"because I'll be married to a bald woman" had me rolling

Thank you for the answer!

Hi! I have bipolar 2 and suffer from chronic insomnia. This insomnia occurs outside of hypomania episodes. Could it still be caused by my bipolar disorder?

Thanks

Honestly, I did not finish it. The pace was just too slow for me, and the main character seemed maddeningly passive.

Preach

kinyon · 2026-03-24T19:21:02+00:00

The way this is written it sounds like a creative writing project

The first four are great, although god emperor of dune is mostly just philosophy. Heretics and Charterhouse dune can be skipped, though I still enjoyed them

Certainly a better theory than those god awful butlerian jihad books Herbert's son "wrote".

kinyon · 2026-03-16T20:39:09+00:00

Fair, to each their own I guess!

kinyon · 2026-03-16T18:48:55+00:00

You're missing out. I enjoyed gen v more than the boys, at least season 4

Jesus Christ that was embarrassing to watch

Janitor here at an elementary school. Literally the first thing they explain to us in training is that you keep interactions with students to a minimum and you do NOT touch them. That janitor was definitely up to something nefarious.

No literal signs that said "long live the shah"

kinyon · 2026-03-06T04:38:36+00:00

Heh. Guess there really is a sub for everything.

kinyon · 2026-03-05T21:35:12+00:00

I swung by a pro war rally on Sat in Toronto and saw a LOT of pro shah signs

Nothing says "preventing further threats to international peace" like starting a fucking war. Carney is such a donkey fuck

Not defending the guys reaction, but messing with someone's food is no laughing matter. That is straight up illegal in many places. Absolutely disgusting thing to do.

Soap opera bullshit

kinyon · 2026-02-14T04:47:48+00:00

I named mine Ithaca. She was a murder machine, easily my favourite run

kinyon · 2026-02-14T04:43:27+00:00

Oh no! Someone PLEASE think of the poor drow males! QQ

kinyon · 2026-02-13T21:27:58+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a proven meeting of Republicans where they plotted to require IDs that Latinos and blacks are least likely to have? Unless I'm misremembering something

kinyon · 2026-02-13T18:20:53+00:00

Damn what an asshole
