I’ve put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It’s mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I’m going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.
Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)
At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?
Absolutely. I kind of wished he had gone back to earth. Although like 50 done years would have passed by the time he got back.
Yeah, you’d never have gotten the satisfaction of a character interaction with the people he left behind since they were all likely to be dead from old age, if not from the conditions of Earth from the infected sun. The only real satisfaction we’d have had was the knowledge that he managed to save those who remained, which I think we’re meant to assume anyway. And I think having him end up on the alien planet was a fun and unique ending. Maybe a brief flash or some sort of confirmation that he was successful would have been nice, but I still won’t complain. I loved it.
