Reading Andy Weir's latest science fiction novel, Project Hail Mary, and it's excellent. Without giving you too many spoilers, something is threatening the end of all life and the main character is on a suicide mission to avert it. Lots of science, but delightfully easy to read.

What I'm particularly pleased about: this is the first fiction I've read since COVID began that isn't a sequel or something I've read before. For some reason the pandemic stress created a cognitive hurdle for fiction; instead I have read many, many great non-fiction books, often about travel.

Great to be reading new fiction again. Particularly science fiction, the most thought-provoking of the genres IMO.
