I have descended from my ivory tower and read a fiction book that was written in the 2000s…and I had such a fun time doing it! Andy Weir weaves science into his stories so well, and I loved the relationship between Grace and Rocky. Finally, as far as tropes go, humans and aliens trying to teach each other their respective languages is one of my favorites.

    I have read all types of science fiction and love many different sub-genres. Hard sci-fi, soft, YA, Sci-fi Fantasy.

    I thought Project Hail Mary was a fun and easy-going read. The audio book narrated by Ray Porter is great as well.

    If you are looking for any reading similar, I highly suggest We Are Legion by Dennis E. Taylor (Bobiverse book 1) and Old Man’s War by John Scalzi.

      I’ve tried 4 times to get into the Bobiverse Books. This last time I made it through 3/4 of the first book before finally just realizing they are not for me.

        I said the same thing about a year ago on a post about project hail Mary. People recommended I try again and a week later I was through the entire bobiverse series. It starts very slow but is amazing by the end of the first book.

        I don’t blame you. I love it, but i loved the discovery, technical problem solving they did. Not the “manny” parts.
