I finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Loved the book. There was lots of science, but it was explained well enough that it wasn’t an issue. There were also certain things which may not feel very probable, but it’s a science fiction, so I didn’t care about that, but I can see some people having problem with that.

Started a manga, Jujutsu Kaisen, Volume 1. Just started it yesterday, after finishing Project Hail Mary, and have almost finished it. I have read a couple of small manga before, but it’s my first physical one, so enjoying that. Though, when I got it, I didn’t realise JJK is still an on-going series. Personally I prefer something that has finished. Ah well, already started it, so just going to read them slowly now.

Still reading The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. The book has been a lot more helpful that I expected it to be. I never thought about the “why” part much, at least haven’t done so in a while. So, all the talk about mindfulness and chapters about living the intentional life are helpful.

What about you guys? What have you been reading?

    I just finished reading “Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller. I’m currently reading “Suite Francaise” by Irene Nemirovsky.

      How did you like Death of a Salesman? Just looked it up, apparently it’s considered one of the best American plays of 20th Century.

      Wow, Irene had a tough life. So, is Suite Francaise unfinished?

        Death of a salesman is brilliant. My copy is fat with post it notes where I jot down parallels I could find from my life and from those of people I knew. Some of the conversations in that book helped me put into words feelings I’ve felt when I was younger and couldn’t verbalise. I wish I had read it much sooner.

        I think the copyright on it ran out a long time ago, so you might be able to pick out a paperback for cheap, or get an epub or pdf for free online.

        Suite Francaise I think is unfinished - it is two parts of a bigger series. The author was a victim of the holocaust before her work could be completed.
