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.

Don't make the mistake of making this your first audio book, it will ruin all other audio books for you.

I only read the book, so I'm very interested: How does the audio book deal with the main foreign language?

It's so good. It's mostly just little happy musical chords that are inserted into the dialog. The tones give Rocky a great depth of character.
