Aside from Project Hail Mary which I assume every /c/sciencefiction subscriber is going to read what have you been reading or plan to read?

I did Project Hail Mary two books back, so I won't revisit that for a while. I HIGHLY recommend the audiobook though; I honestly can't see how it could hold up in text form, it feels like it was made to be an audiobook.

I'm currently on the Bobiverse books (#1) by Dennis E Taylor.

I was so curious about how that book could work NOT as an audiobook so I snagged a copy from my library to check it out. SPOILERS: >!Rocky's speech is depicted as musical notes. Not nearly as impactful as the audiobook.!<

Is Rocky's speech in the audiobook literally music?

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes! The more complex the speech, the more complex the music. It's really cool.

Maybe I'll listen, then. I read the book two years ago, I think I'm ready to experience it again. Thank you!

I almost wish I'd never read bobiverse so I could experience it again for the first time.
