title: "Fictional Works That I Like"
type: page

- **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 these books.
- **xkcd**: [The Sun](https://xkcd.com/673/) is my favorite. I also like [Dreams](https://xkcd.com/137/).
- **Abstruse Goose**: Like xkcd but better. [The Most Powerful Person in the World](https://web.archive.org/web/20230326160247/https://abstrusegoose.com/606) is my favorite. Sadly, its website is [no longer up](https://social.exozy.me/@a/111552162275963985).
- **Proof of False**: Like Abstruse Goose but better. [Found Application](https://web.archive.org/web/20171102132007/http://proof-of-false.the-user.org/30) 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.
