I genuinely cannot recommend Project Hail Mary enough. I laughed, I cried, I had crazy heart palpitations. 20/10 stars

I had a dream that Ryan gosling and I were flirting and I waited for hours in that dream to ask him if it was worth it to see it and he basically told me to fuck off afterwards

I think this was my first actual sci-fi book (not including Dungeon Crawler Carl) and I’m so glad it was

I bought The Martian too lmao! I have a smaller mystery book that’s next on the list but then I’m definitely moving to the Martian

Mark Watney is my favorite silly space guy atm, it’s been over a month and that book still has me in a chokehold the ending nearly made me cry (in a good way) (the movie is good too, there were a few changes I didn’t like, it was still a great movie i’ll be likely to rewatch, Matt Damon did a great job as Mark)

and Artemis is more of like a space thriller, it’s a lot different than PHM/The Martian, but still rooted in realism

The Martain has a more gripping story, but Artemis is fucking hilarious

if you like audiobooks, I highly reccomend the 2005 release. its narrated by the wonderful Stephen Fry.

that is the best way to experience them because you can hear in his voice just how much he was enjoying it. so warm. look, the movie adaption wasn't very good, ill admit, but having him come back as the narrator was a genius move.
