Looking for new books to read as I am preparing to head out on a much needed vacation and want to dig into some good reading. Can be fiction or nonfiction, just so long as it hooked you and made you want to keep reading and reading until the end.

    I feel like I have read quite a few books that I felt that way about, but it’s always hard to bring them to mind when someone asks. That said, the first few that popped into my head:

    • Cradle (series)
    • Wool (series)
    • The Martian (Audio book is especially well narrated!)
    • Murderbot Diaries (series)
    • The Bobiverse (series)

      If you love The Martian, you are going to love Project Hail Mary. The audiobook is really good as well.

        +1 for Project Hail Mary, the paper edition at least. Had me gripped.

      The Bobiverse (series)

      4th book was such a disappointment.

      Overall message too, somehow went from “we are the avantgarde of transhumanism and the universe is our playground” straight up to something like “i wish 50’s back”. Every single Bob turned to either flat meme or boomer.
