Did you know Father’s Day didn’t become a national Holiday until 1972? That was 58 years since Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, at St. Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia.

Hey everyone! I’m back with another science fiction review. Today I’m talking about “The Three Body Problem” by Liu Cixin. It was first published in 2008 in China, and was translated into English by Ken Liu in 2014. “The Three Body Problem” is the first in the trilogy “Remembrance of Earth’s Past.” It is followed by “The Dark Forest” and “Death’s End,” both of which have been translated into English.
