Thank you. I’m pretty new to the Fediverse. I’ll move us back to our original thread. After Project Hail Mary I read a novel by Weir about a colony on the moon… can’t recall the title. All I know is that I abandoned the book because the social problems of earth were recreated on the moon and I just kept thinking, what’s the point of having a colony on the moon if people are still going to be shitty to one another.

I just didn’t “believe” it. And as you know from Project Hail Mary, I can believe some pretty far fetched stuff.

Do you know this moon colony book?

Hey— someone else is on at this moment! Do you know who our Mods are or the person who runs this instance?

Sorry if this comment here is inappropriate but I have a question for a Mod or the kind soul that runs this instance.

Could you please message me privately so I can ask a question?

I love learning how people read.

When I love a book, I don’t reread it but instead look for the writers other books.

The next from Weir that I read was called Project Hail Mary — and I loved it. Surely not as “relatable” as The Martian, it was simply exciting and had an unexpectedly delighting “bro-mance” — don’t want to spoil anything.

Have you read it?

I’m trying to get into the Popul Vu — it’s a piece of Mayan literature that covers their cosmology. Interesting and challenging story telling. Does anyone have experience with it?

I can’t remember all the character names but I remember a lot of surprises. Keep having fun with it!

I’m smiling.

My memory of my gargantuan journey through that gargantuan tome is bitter sweet. King creates so many characters we adore — and more that we despise.

I believe I saw it as a working through of the Bush Jr administration and I went so far into this thst I began a chart of the which real life people the characters represented. Like many of my ADHD projects, that one didn’t bear fruit but your bring up this title makes me smile.

Orwell offers so many hidden gems. I recently read Keep the Aspidistra Flying which kept me absolutely captivated and I could not get over how contemporary it feels.
