I’ve been listening to the audio books when I do my 10 h drive home for vacations/holidays and I watched the show first. I’m on book 7 now.

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed book 1 and 2, but 3 through 6 I did find tedious to get through having seen the show and knowing what happens. I’m enjoying 7 again with a fresh story.

Personally, one of my favourite things about the series is the realism of the sci-fi setting and the use as a setting for a political drama.

Sort of agree on the filler and formulaic type writing as well, but I haven’t noticed it as much with some fresh plot development

I’m an engineer. Writing by hand I would always use a fraction. If I had to write this in an email or something (quickly and informally) either the context would have to be there for someone to know which one I meant or I would use brackets. I certainly wouldn’t just wrote 1/2x and expect you to know which one I meant with no additional context or brackets

This is literal insanity

Why are you holding it up to your face? I use speaker too if I’m busy and my hands are full but i put it down on a table. This has no advantage, you still have to hold it
