Glad to see Project Hail Mary getting the attention it deserves: the film is also an excellent effort by Ryan Gosling.

I finished the 4th Bobiverse book, Heaven's River and am looking forward to the 5th and last one. I also read Jim Butcher's Out Law, a Harry Dresden novella, which added a single adventure with a different kind of magic monster Harry had to confront in order to, as usual, save someone.
Right now I'm ensconced in Theo of Golden by Allen Levi, a very different book than those I've read lately, and one that has completely captivated me. A stranger named Theo arrives in the southern city of Golden one spring day. As he explores the city, he visits a coffee house decorated with 92 pencil portraits of people who have been customers there. He decides to buy them, one at a time, and give them to the person pictured. Each exchange yields a story, a friendship, and a life altered.
I joined a group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.

I thought I would re-read an old book I read when it first came out, Floating Dragon by Peter Straub. I remember really liking it but it was so long ago it's almost like reading it for the first time.

That has happened to me quite a few times over the years, Judith. In fact, I read Floating Dragon years ago, too, and don't remember much about it at all.

This happens quite often with me too Judith and LadyK ... which is why I "so enjoy" books I read decades ago.
"Project Hail Mary" ... yes the book was great Lex and can't wait to see the magic of the story in the movie

Starting a re-read of the Honour Harrington series from decades ago. Still a good read.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Hoping Joe Abercrombie comes out with something new soon.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.
