I finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Loved the book. There was lots of science, but it was explained well enough that it wasn't an issue. There were also certain things which may not feel very probable, but it's a science fiction, so I didn't care about that, but I can see some people having problem with that.
Started a manga, Jujutsu Kaisen, Volume 1. Just started it yesterday, after finishing Project Hail Mary, and have almost finished it. I have read a couple of small manga before, but it's my first physical one, so enjoying that. Though, when I got it, I didn't realise JJK is still an on-going series. Personally I prefer something that has finished. Ah well, already started it, so just going to read them slowly now.
Still reading The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. The book has been a lot more helpful that I expected it to be. I never thought about the "why" part much, at least haven't done so in a while. So, all the talk about mindfulness and chapters about living the intentional life are helpful.

Ah, I haven't read either of those. I guess I need to read up on them before I repeat this comment again 😀 Thanks for the heads up!
You can say that we are getting closer to 1984 but it's definitely not as bad, thankfully. I should check out the other one too sometime because it sounds interesting.
Well, as someone who care about privacy (online and otherwise), there have been moments in our recent history where it has been very 1984. At least in that one aspect. And there are places in the world, where "alternate truths" spread by the government make it impossible to discern what's what (at least for average citizen). But yeah, I agree, we haven't gone full 1984 yet.
Speaking of average people, the protagonist is just that, an average person with no power and it's an actually cool perspective to show the world from
