I found the 3 body problem so disappointing. I'm not sure whether the translation is a bit off or something else but it's just the type of thing I should enjoy but it was just dull and hard work

It's just as bad in Chinese, unfortunately. It's so widely praised in China - people think it's AMAZING - but I found it tedious and nowhere near as smart as it thought it was.

Catching up on this thread..
Master and commander.. read all of these during the first lockdown and thoroughly enjoyed them (read forester as a kid so sorta nostalgia).
Sci-Fi.. the three body problem surely qualifies as a 21 C classic. Even I've read it and my sci fi extends to Dick.
Stefan Zweig.. Beware of Pity was consumed by my wife but I prefer Roth for my AH empire kicks..
I actually bought a physical book rather than kindling.. Geoff was another lockdown fave.. haven't read this..
