Why are people so crass here? Is an opinion that differs from the majority so bad? I hardly boast a superior reading level, even fans of the series will tell you the first book was written for a 5th grade reading level. I simply didn't care for it, sorry.
I had a Chinese coworker give it up because it was too difficult. I read it again for fun (and 'cause I decided I ought to complete the hardcover collection I keep porting around as I move) last year, first time doing so since I was a child (maybe a young teen was the last time?), it has a lot of weird Britishisms that I suspect my 5th grade teacher had to explain to us when she read it to the class.
The Art of Empathy (very interesting)
The Three Body Problem (good)
The Startup Way (decent)
The Politics of Bitcoin (short but interesting)
Why We Sleep (very much worth it)
The Last Arrow (mixed feelings)
The Prize (boring but informative)
Superhuman by Habit (OK, not much new)
The Circle of Profit (straight to the point)
Thinking in Systems (couldn't finish it)
Radical Candor (awesome)
Harry Potter #1 (too low of a reading level)
Man's Search for Meaning (classic)
