Just finished The dark forest, by Cixin Liu. As far as I read this sci-fi trilogy, I think I enjoy it very much. Now starting the last novel in the series, Death's End, by Cixin Liu.

Have you watched the show? How would you compare it with the book?
No, I always prefer reading novels before any movie/show because otherwise it disturbs the way I imagine the characters.
Same here. Unless I don't know it's based on a book, I prefer to read the source material first.
Currently Reading:
The Passage - Justin Cronin, just as I feared. Just like the first time (over a decade ago), I felt myself losing interest as time skip hits. The new characters were many and ... uninteresting. Many are killed off before even fully developed, which dulled the effect. Currently chapter 46, bit eager to finish it up.
Well, the book just might not be for you, no point in forcing yourself when there is so much else to read. Though if you have reached chapter 46, might as well finish the first book at least.
might as well finish the first book at least.
That I'll do. It's kind of frustrated, I do love the premises and love the first part. But for some reason the new characters just simply doesn't click with me. I am now in "The Haven", something is not right here, it might get interesting.
I felt like that in the first few chapters after the time jump, but then got used to these characters. Hope you atleast enjoy the ending!
Oh, I got used to the characters, I just doesn't find them interesting.

The fact that "The Haven" is making deals with the smokes is not surprising, in fact I guessed it the moment it bought up how the fact the idea of “The Haven" is a impossibility. Of course, this is might only because the books has been out for over a decade and the same idea has been used over and over.
Heh.
As for the spoilery part, I guessed that too. But at this point in the book, you have to know that something's up.
Are you going to continue the series?

At the moment I'm reading Dead Souls by Gogol. I've been at it for a while. It's a bit heavy for a summer read, but I'm enjoying it somewhat. It's fun to see all the colorful characters that come across, but I have the idea a lot is going over my head as I'm not that familiar with the Russia of that time. It's sad quite a bit is missing of the second part.
Only about 70 pages left. The next book will definitely be something lighter...
