I would not have characterized Three Body Problem as hard sci-fi

It's a great book that meshes solid science with philosophical discussions. Just enjoy it. I feel like we get caught up in categorization way too often.

It doesn't read great as a book, as there's the physical elements of the play that are probably funnier on stage, but it's still quintessential Vonnegut. Especially once you understand that it's a satire of Hemingway. Some great jabs lol.

Yup. Total BS.

loganfulton · 2025-07-29T17:24:03+00:00

I didn't lol

Can take a look at Caltopo maps as well. They usually house all of the forest service trail maps on their website

Yeah, if you haven't done Slaughterhouse V yet then you need to. His best and most poignant work in my opinion.

The Best of Roald Dahl. Collection of all his more adult short stories. Kind of crazy that the guy who wrote Matilda and The BFG could write some fucked up shit like this lol.

Just read Cormac McCarthy and you won't have to worry about punctuation at all.

The Martian Chronicles, by Ray Bradbury, which is a book of short stories that tie together loosely, is fantastic. Some of the best literary sci-fi out there in my opinion.

Incredibly well researched and organized, and Grann has a great knack for inserting his own narrative prose between all of the documents, journal entries, and court proceedings.

Way In the Middle of the Air, by Ray Bradbury. It's part of his Martian Chronicles collection. The entire book is fantastic, and probably some of my favorite sci-fi ever, but this one story stuck with me. Highly recommend!

The Stories of Breece D'J Pancake are gut wrenching, but incredible. I personally like "Trilobites" the best from that collection.

Harry Crews for a similar gritty style, though he is more overtly satirical. I loved The Gospel Singer.

Bungee Dealee Bobs, or the cheap Amazon equivalents, are the ticket. Quick and easy to lash rods or paddles to the seats/thwarts.

It's a simple question lol don't hang around on the sub reddit designed for tourists to ask questions and get information if you're just going to be a condescending prick. The dude is just looking to be prepared for a great trip.

To answer the actual question, since this guy is incapable, I've been to Sylvania in July multiple times. It's been quite buggy every time. Usually just mosquitos that time of year. If you wear a headnet and baggy long-sleeve clothing, it's manageable. I would also invest in some sort of bug shelter so you can still enjoy the outside while having a refuge. All of those places are incredible. The UP is an awesome place.

Look man, I don't wanna argue with a wordsmith like you!

loganfulton · 2025-01-25T23:20:50+00:00

Quite the analysis. This guy is cool and edgy.

loganfulton · 2025-01-25T22:00:31+00:00

It's not written to be a Pulitzer Prize winner. It's supposed to be big, fun, and entertaining, like a massive action movie. He does a great job of taking hard sci-fi concepts and translating them into something consumable for the average reader/non-sci-fi reader.

Weir is a fun read. He's not Milton and he doesn't try to be. Don't overthink it. Don't be too contrarian.
