Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

We had a pretty good turnout for our first book of the month vote. To be honest I did not anticipate the problem of there being a tie. I took the liberty of flipping a coin which came out heads for Project Hail Mary. In the future I might have to come up with a better method of tie breaking. I’m figuring this out as I go and it is all just for the fun of it anyway so please don’t take this too seriously.

I intend to read this book over the month of September and then near the end of the month I will create a discussion thread for it where people can discuss it without worrying about spoilers. Follow along if you want to.

    Great read. Probably my favorite book Weir has put out so far.

    Not technically a sequel to The Martian but it kinda feels like it in a way. That’s not a negative for me though, Martian is a great story

      I love both the top two choices. Children of Time that series is awesome and I recommend everyone read them. I own both physical copies and audiobooks of all three.

      Project Hail Mary is also excellent book but I only have the audio version. Love to get a copy of the actual book because I do understand it diffrent in one way from the audio version.

      I read few of the others the Hyperion series is also a great read should have been higher up. I own the ebooks, audiobooks, and hardack copies of that series. A great series.

      Definitely will read rest of what’s on this list soon.
