Aside from Project Hail Mary which I assume every /c/sciencefiction subscriber is going to read what have you been reading or plan to read?

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (August 2023)

    I did Project Hail Mary two books back, so I won’t revisit that for a while. I HIGHLY recommend the audiobook though; I honestly can’t see how it could hold up in text form, it feels like it was made to be an audiobook.

    I’m currently on the Bobiverse books (#1) by Dennis E Taylor.

      I was so curious about how that book could work NOT as an audiobook so I snagged a copy from my library to check it out. SPOILERS: >!Rocky’s speech is depicted as musical notes. Not nearly as impactful as the audiobook.!<

          Yes! The more complex the speech, the more complex the music. It’s really cool.

            Maybe I’ll listen, then. I read the book two years ago, I think I’m ready to experience it again. Thank you!
