Thanks, this is good. I've just started with the 100 year old guy and it's interesting (early days, though!).

The thing I've always hated is stories always revolve around conflict and (usually) people making terrible choices. Watching lessons in chemistry was mostly delightful because of this (must read that!)

I'd quite happily read lots of stuff that's just 'nice' and people being good. I'm sure I'd get tired of it eventually, but I'm sick of manufactured BS.

I'm quite aware I've grown up on lots of sci fi, so love me some world building and crazy ideas, but I'm starved for characters, broadly speaking...

Oo I'm not too into sci-fi but one of my favourites is The Breach by Patrick Lee

And yes, you should've read Lessons in Chemistry instead of watching the mediocre cash-grab, unfortunately

C'est la vie

Thanks!

I'm sure the story will be more than satisfying when I get to it. Swallowing the misogyny was bad enough the first time, though - yuck!
