Fictional Works That I Like

You might notice a common theme here.

• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t. Douglas Adams’s other books are also great.

• The Three-Body Problem Trilogy: The first book is great, the second is good but with an absolutely insane ending, and the third book is incredible. Some people complain about the author sometimes info-dumping technical and scientific information, but that’s one of the things I love about this series.

• xkcd: The Sun is my favorite. I also like Dreams.

• Abstruse Goose: Like xkcd but better. The Most Powerful Person in the World is my favorite. Sadly, its website is no longer up.

• Proof of False: Like Abstruse Goose but better. Found Application is my favorite.

• A Chinese Odyssey: The 1995 Stephen Chow two-part film, not the 2002 or 2016 or 2022 films with similar names. It’s one of my favorite films of all time.
