Agreed. Andy weir is a treasure to me. I love almost everything he's ever written. I'm patiently waiting for the next book but whatever it is I'll be excited for it. Project hail Mary was one of my favorite books of all time. I've reread it over and over. It's just so much fun to read. I hope they don't fuck it up with the movie they're making on it but they probably will.
I haven't gotten around to reading Project Hail Mary just yet (I've been on a fantasy kick recently) but I got it when it first came out! I've heard nothing but incredible things about it and can't wait to give it a read. Fingers crossed they do it justice, movie adaptations always make me nervous.
Wow! I'm actually jealous of you. I wish I could go back and reread it for my first time. I've read that book probably five times and the audiobook is even better. Ray Porter is a genius with narrations.
If you can remember to do so. Come back and let me know what you think. It's such a good book.
Oh that's exciting! I'll definitely have to dive into it sooner rather than later! I also have the audiobook, do you recommend that for a first time foray into it?
Oh definitely go for the audiobook the first time. That way the voice of Rocky will be in your head when you read it. Ray Porter does such an amazing job on this book. I can't not hear those voices in my head when I read it now. It's one of the few cases. I'll say the audiobook is better than reading the book. But I'm also a total fanboy for Ray Porter. He can literally make books. I care nothing about interesting lol.
