  • Ces livreurs payés à la livraison c’est pénible au possible… Vu qu’ils sont rémunérés au nombre de colis, ils sont près à n’importe quoi sur la route et en matière d’arrêt afin de maximiser le nombre de colis qu’ils livrent… Il y’a quelques jours, la femme d’un collègue s’est fait renverser par la camionnette d’un livreur qui n’avait rien trouvé de mieux que de faire marche arrière sur des centaines de mètre, histoire d’éviter de faire demi-tour et ainsi gagner quelques minutes…


  • Just finished Death’s End, by Cixin Liu which is the last volume of Remembrance of Earth’s past trilogy (better known from the title of the first book The three body problem). I enjoyed very much the 3 novels, great Sci-fi and I also learned many things about Chinese culture through translator notes. (note: I’ve not seen the Netflix show before reading it, because I hate watching movies about novels I have not read, it block too much the mental image I do reading the book, therefore limiting the amazement of reading).

    Next, I decided not to read the fan fiction sequel but rather what is presented as a prequel: Ball Lightning, by Cixin Liu.

















  • Just finished Behind her eyes, by Sarah Pinborough. Found it very nice, a good page turner. The ending was unexpected.

    I don’t know yet what will be next (probably I’ll find in this conversation or another from this community as almost always).

    Edit: Started The three-body problem, by Cixin Liu. Seen a comment about it in this post and I remember having heard about it at the radio or so. Plus I’m thrilled to discover Chinese literature.
