To discuss your weekly readings of books, textbooks and papers.
I'm still reading Ben Wilson's "Metropolis" as I've been very slow this week and I ended up reading almost nothing.

Finished the second 3bp book. I enjoyed the story but the prose is very sus.
It's also fun to observe the chink chauvinism. Early on the book a
assassin attempts to murder the 
protagonist. He then makes a quip about the 
's name literal meaning.
When has a mayoid ever cared about the
chinese naming system? Wow your name is Ching-Chong Ping-Pong and it means The Great White Dragon Who Flies Above the Night Sky 
that's so cool

Many such cases among 3BP readers, it is not just you Respeitador de menina-piá, supposedly the translators actually improved the prose lol. It's more like old Sci-Fi from the 50s which focuses on grand ideas.

guria-piá*
Some passages are so lame
The dialogue itself is okay but the way he describes stuff is not good.
The world building is also pretty stupid sometimes. Vuvuzela had a sucessful commie experience
, which spread to the rest of LA . China is a superpower on par with 
, Euros are smug and annoying but irrelevant (correct for once), jeets are never mentioned once, despite being 1/8th of the planet.
