Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
We had a pretty good turnout for our first book of the month vote. To be honest I did not anticipate the problem of there being a tie. I took the liberty of flipping a coin which came out heads for Project Hail Mary. In the future I might have to come up with a better method of tie breaking. I'm figuring this out as I go and it is all just for the fun of it anyway so please don't take this too seriously.
I intend to read this book over the month of September and then near the end of the month I will create a discussion thread for it where people can discuss it without worrying about spoilers. Follow along if you want to.

Ray Porter (the narrator of this one and the Martian) is a freaking treasure. Easily the best I've stumbled across.
After PHM I just listened to other Ray porter audiobooks for awhile, it was ok. And yes, the audio book is very very very good.
There's 2 versions of the Martian, but IIRC Porter didn't do either. I think it's r c bray and the star trek kid, is it whedon?
Just started listening to it as a wind down. It's Wil Wheaton.
