Just finished Project Hail Mary, if you can get through the first quarter, it turns out to be a nice read.

great book read it several years ago and really liked it.. Ended up reading a couple other Andy Weir books. The Martian was also really good.

January reads. Books I should have read sooner + some Japanese classics. Also currently about 50% through Butcher's Crossing by John Edward Williams but I might drop it. It just hasn't grabbed me yet, which is surprising because I absolutely love Stoner. Might just power through anyways.

Probably Siddhartha. Definitely left the strongest impression on me, anyways. I'd like to read it again in the future, see if my perspective on it will change at all. I did really enjoy A River Runs Through It and Snow Country as well though.

Butcher’s Crossing didn’t meet my expectations after hearing a few others talk about it, but it was alright and worth finishing, I think

I like reading about wildfires. This one provides first hand knowledge about smoke jumping. I’m learning things I didn’t know. I’m about halfway through and it is an easy read.

Finished For Whom the Bell Tolls for the 4th or 5th time.

Still a most excellent novel. He simply does a better job at everything than almost anyone else. Emotions, settings, plot twists, reality...

Almost through with The Secret Knowledge of Water, by Childress. A shockingly stark contrast in writing styles to Hemingway.

Still very slowly slogging my way through Infinite Jest. It's wearing me down.
