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?

Re-reading a bunch of Discworld. Really need to read Project Hail Mary, only heard good things about it
Yup! You should read Project Hail Mary.
Yeah, Project Hail Mary is excellent!
I absolutely loved The Martian, but I had a hard time getting through Hail Mary. It was a great concept, and engaging science fiction, except most of the characters, including the main one, are completely insufferable. No conversation is believable or even interesting. Just juvenile stuff. Almost put it down 3/4 of the way through because I felt like I couldn’t take it any longer. I’m glad that I made it through, but it was really tough, and I’m not gonna read it ever again.
Not trying to discourage you from reading it, just hoping to lower your expectations a bit so that you’re pleasantly surprised when it’s not the trash fire I’m making it out to be. I hope you enjoy it more than I did!
