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.

Im listening to the audio version of Project Hail Mary right now and am about half way through and Im not seeing the huge draw that it has on so many people. Im hoping it gets better
It’s a good book. Entertaining, insightful, emotionally human. Just not a great book. I would have expected Children of Time to blow it out of the water.
I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t great. It’s the only Wier book I’ve read so I can’t comment if it’s that book in particular or the author’s style.
Would I bother to read it again? No.
