I’ve put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It’s mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I’m going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

Project Hail Mary. Paid more than I liked for a single book but quickly found it is one of my favourite books of all time!

Mine too! Between that, The Martian and Artemis, I’m pretty much guaranteed to buy anything else that Andy Weir publishes.

I randomly chose this to listen to on audible a couple months back; I loved it! So fun, so thought provoking, such a good book.

Andy Weir’s second best book after “The Martian” in my opinion. But not by far, it was a great read and I enjoyed every page of it. Rocky for intergalactic president!

I liked the bigger scope of PHM, but Weir is Weir and great. It’s like going to an amazing homemade ice-cream stand. You might like vanilla caramel, and your friend might like the strawberry chocolate, but you’re both just happy the place is open.

Easily the best book I’ve read in the last 5 years

I made a kind of “if you like PHM you might like these other books” rec chart thing when I first read PHM; if you’ve finished reading it you might enjoy some of these (although it does mention a few key elements of the book so if you’re going in completely blind and aren’t far in yet then don’t look at this yet).
