What’s something that you feel like you should like, but for some reason can’t get into, no matter how many chances you give it?

For me, it’s The Three Body Problem. It should be right up my alley from everything I’ve heard about it (especially the second book, which looks at the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter!), but for the life of me, I can’t get past the first chapter at all. I even tried reading it in another language to see if it was the translation that kept me from getting into it, and nope.

      I get this… :)

      I can’t actually explain it in any sort of meaningful way, but I feel like it belongs here in spite of the obvious.

      As someone who’s read the entire Wheel of Time series multiple times, I get it. I love it, but I get it.

      Mat and Rand would probably be able to explain it better though if they were on here

      Yeah, I love these books but my wife can’t get into the first book at all.
