I'm not sure when it was written, but I ran across this list of the best science fiction and fantasy books this century, and I resonated with the ones I've read, so I thought I'd see what others thought of it. Have you read many of them?

The opposite for me - Seveneves (especially the first two parts) is fantastic. Three Body Problem left me in the weeds, and didn't do it for me at all.

I don't understand how anyone can read Three Body Problem. I couldn't get past the dialog in the first chapter being the worst of any book I've ever read. I'm still absolutely shocked it has received praise of any kind.

That third part of Seveneves was so frustrating. I still really liked it, but it made me agitated.
