Project Hail Mary Andy wier returns to the roots of The Martian. Also, movie is coming next spring about it.

Dark Matter Some deep physics stuff occurs, but the story can be followed with no knowledge of super position. Also released as a mini series on some streaming channel

I’m reading “don’t let him in” by Lisa Jewel, it’s great so far, very intriguing (I also recommend “none of this is true” by the same author)

Last week I read “the road to tender hearts” by Annie Harnett and it was very moving. It touches very hard topics with a splash of humor to make it easier to digest

I also recommend anything by TJ Klune. His books are very wholesome, sometimes I just want an easy reading where everything is solved with hugs and love

Just started Exordia. It’s great for a particular kind of sci-fi fan. Reminds me of Ian McDonald a little.

Trans liberation: beyond pink and blue by leslie feinberg. Very insightful stories.

Holistic management by Allan Savory. Especially if you are interested in permaculture and regenerative practices, sustainability

Just finished Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 for the umpteenth time. Always a classic.

I recently started Blood Meridian. It’s too early to tell if I like it yet, but I like McCarthy’s other works I’ve read. I’m also listening to the audiobook adaption of Alien: Covenant. It’s part of the Audible subscription right now, so I thought I’d give it a try. I like it a bit better than I remember liking the movie. It’s pretty similar, but I feel like it adds a little more nuance to some character actions.

Sapiens

Reading American Midnight, about how civil liberties were absolutely fucked after the US entered World War I.

Not reading it right now, but I’ll take this opportunity to recommend people read Project Hail Mary before watching the trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation which spoils major plot twists.

Rereading Le Guin’s Earthsea saga.

Personally, I think she might be on par with Tolkien and actually surpasses him in a few ways. The 4th book (about a tired mom just trying to get by and care for people in a fantasy world) is the best one, but you need to work your way there.

The Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. Great story, easy reading, relatable characters, and soon to be made into a series. There are 7 books so far, but rumors say there might be up to 10 eventually.

Just finished Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. It made me go hug my partner very tightly.

Bouncing between Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions and The Screaming Staircase.

Algorithms is interesting but the actual algorithms aren’t terribly useful so far.

The Screaming Staircase has a very neat world but not very interesting characters. I’m hoping it improves.

Re-reading Shirley Jackson’s “The Haunting of Hill House” because its the best haunted house novel ever written.
