this book was tailor-made to get people back into reading imo. main character is your favorite high school science teacher on a crazy survival mission. like “the martian” but even more hype…

This might actually be better than reading the book.
Also, probably pretty good sci fi even if you don't really like sci fi.
"An irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could deliver, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian—while taking us to places it never dreamed of going."

i came across this rec quite randomly and i haven't read sci-fi in so long, i wondered if it would be too much for me but this book was delightfully fun! the main character wakes up from a coma aboard a spacecraft and pretty much has to work his way backward to remembering why he is here, what he is doing here, who even he is, so on. the last sci-fi i had read was the 'artemis fowl' series when i was a kid which i genuinely enjoyed so much that i had quite a lot of expectations for this one- it wasn't what i expected but definitely wasn't a let down too (struggling to review without giving a spoiler so just rambling)

last year of elementary school, my teacher gave us a list of books and we had to choose one to present it to the class after holidays. i was the only one who chose The Martian Chronicles - because my dad transmitted his ufo hyperfixation to me (he saw one when he was young and that really stuck with him) - first literature emotion of my life, i’ll never forget how the way i saw the world changed afterwards

ik only allowing one image per rec is part of the vibe but it would be cool if you could sorta chain image recs together, twitter style. mostly I’m just trying to make painting recs in the future without it being a hassle
