And now I’ve finished ā€œProject Hail Maryā€. Fun read. And like ā€œThe Martianā€, just enough nerdy stuff. Like MacGuyver…in space. #booksky, and some of the best lines that made me chuckle out loud while reading it…

ā€˜Project Hail Mary’ is the 2nd book of his I’ve opened up and gotten pulled into enough that I surprise myself with the frequency I come back to reading more of it throughout the week. Hell, i read ā€˜The Martian’ in the evenings over the course of maybe a week?

I guess I like author Andy Weir…now this is off a limited sample size of his books ā€˜The Martian’, and 130 pages (so far) of ā€˜Project Hail Mary’. Seemingly steady-paced, bit science-y, some humor, and my brain’s already cast RyanGosling as main character because internets. NO SPOILERS! #booksky

Just finished ā€˜Everything is F#€ked: A Book About Hope’ the follow up to Mark Manskn’s #SubtleArt. It ventures off into a lot more philosophical meanderings, touching on religion, politics, and human history. Still has Mark’s voice, but it felt like a bit more of a slog though some of the philosophy

A portable traffic barrier with graffiti tag that reads ā€œPREFUKā€, which one can read as pre-fuck, as in ā€œbefore sexā€, so perhaps a new term for foreplay.
