I enjoyed reading The Martian recently so I decided to check this one out too. I don't usually do audiobooks because it's hard for me to concentrate and immerse into the story like that, but I'm giving this a try after hearing so many people say that the audiobook is a fun listen. I drive about 20-30 minutes to and from work and listen in my car. I find it's too hard to concentrate at home, but once I'm on autopilot in the car I can lock into the story pretty good. I'm only about 20% through, but I am enjoying it so far. I heard there's a movie coming out soon with Ryan Gosling.

Project Hail Mary kind of made me glaze over in the middle with all the space jargon
But stick with it, it has one of the best endings to a book I’ve read in a long time . I think about it often actually
Also: just missed out on a signed copy of Mark Twain by Ron Chernow. Kinda bummed but oh well. Got this 1,000

I read True Girt so quickly the other weekend that I decided to go pick up the novel I remembered reading the fastest before it. I'm almost half way through ITA now. It's a good one that everyone should at least try to read once. Krakauer is a very good storyteller.

Ethan Fromm
So I just finished reading Ethan Frome, and I came away pretty horrified-and I devour classic literature. I have never been so unsympathetic to a protagonist that was not explicitly written to be the anti-hero, unless Wharton was intending that, but it does not really appear so, especially as I read somewhere that she was critical of society's obsession with keeping unhappy marriages together. I have only read one other Wharton book before, Summer, so I am aware that she is fine with bleak endings, but still. Anyway, I kept thinking throughout how this book could VERY easily be written from Mattie or Zenna's POV or even both SPOILER that demonstrates how Ethan fell out of love with his wife when she got sick, and then preyed on a younger dependent in his house. Zenna sending Mattie away could be to get her out of her predator's way, and Mattie's agreement to the suicide pact could be to save the next girl from his unwanted attentions. Has such a book been written, I wonder?

How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World: A Handbook for Personal Liberty
by Harry Browne
Very good book. I'd recommend it highly for anyone who thinks that Trump or Biden (or insert your boogeyman: person, party, hated sports program, etc.) is running their lives and making them miserable.
Browne lays out how you can stop waiting for the world to change and start living free right now.
He shows how most of the traps we’re in are optional and how to walk away from them. It’s not a protest book. It’s a personal guide to living how you actually want without needing permission.

Just finished Craig Johnson's latest Longmire series "Return to Sender".
A good read and the next novel is set up perfectly.

A call to Arms by David Weber and crew. Book two in the Manticore Ascendant series of the Honorverse novels, so scifi. It was good.
