And now Iāve finished āProject Hail Maryā. Fun read. And like āThe Martianā, just enough nerdy stuff. Like MacGuyverā¦in space. #booksky, and some of the best lines that made me chuckle out loud while reading itā¦

āProject Hail Maryā is the 2nd book of his Iāve 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 āThe Martianā in the evenings over the course of maybe a week?
Chris (@flickerbrain.bsky.social)
I guess I like author Andy Weirā¦now this is off a limited sample size of his books āThe Martianā, and 130 pages (so far) of āProject Hail Maryā. Seemingly steady-paced, bit science-y, some humor, and my brainās already cast RyanGosling as main character because internets. NO SPOILERS! #booksky

Still worth a read Iād say, it just took me a bit longer. Though that might also have had to do with me working 7 12s this summer⦠#booksky

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

Hey Shirley (and the rest of the Gang), been a fan since all the way back in ā 96 or ā97, when I was but a young kid in grade 7 or 8. Fell in love with the first album playing it on my discman on the bus, or rollerblading to āStupid Girlā at the local roller rink. Love the new single. Rock on. š¤šøš©·
