I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

Just listened to the full cast audiobook of Alien: Out of the shadows. Nothing amazing but was a fun listen. Before that was Artemis, not as good as Project Hail Mary imo but still quite enjoyable. I think Recursion is going to be my next read, but I'm open to suggestions.

I wish more audiobooks would use a full cast. It's a really fun way to listen to a book.

I loved the swashbuckling style of Artemis! I've had project hail mary on hold for a while and can't wait. If you can get to the three body problem series, it's really good. Don't be turned off by the dumb name, it's other name closer to original translation is "remembrance of earths past". Scifi on the grandest scale you can even imagine.

Yeah to be clear, Artemis was great, I just loved PHM that much.

I've heard really good things about the three body problem, I'll make sure I get to it sooner rather than later!

I can't wait to read project hail mary. Got another couple months on hold though unfortunately.
