Just finished Project Hail Mary. I was underwhelmed by it. I don't think it's in the same class as The Martian. The ending was lazy in my opinion.

Picking up #6 as soon as I knock out Tiamat's Wrath.DallasTeleAg said:
Loved Death Masks. There are some who think Blood Rites is not that great, but I think it's fun, and also has a big reveal.
Dead Beat is when Dresden starts to just hit at the A+ mark, consistently.

Finally finished Neuromancer. The lingo was a bit annoying and prevented me from really getting into it at first. Read the last half in three sittings though. I guess I did enjoy it overall, although it really just ends in a "wtf?" way. That seems to be more common with some of these older sci-fi stories though.
For 2022, I'm planning to tackle the Interdependency Series, Kingkiller, and possibly the Witcher series depending on how I'm feeling after finishing the aforementioned.
I read Last Exit to Brooklyn several years back. It was a fairly shocking read, especially having been written in the 50s. I'd like to dive into more of his stuff, but would need to counterbalance it with some happy fluff.Bonzer103 said:
Any Hubert Selby Jr fans? Recently been watching Aronofsky movies (Mother! and Requiem) and didn't realize Requiem was based on Selby's book of the same name. Further exploration revealed he was Aronofsky's favorite author and curious to quality/style.
Not sure I have the stomach for it after reading descriptions and reviews of Last Exit To Brooklyn and The Room. Sounds like a worse version of Less Than Zero which while kind of fascinating to read...it made me hate humanity. I would have to be in the right state of mind to attempt Selby, I think.Bonzer103 said:
