We are two weeks into the month of September now. I think this might be a reasonable amount of time for some readers to have completed this book if they started early this month. At least I finished it last week. I'll leave this thread pinned for the rest of the month and next weekend I'll create the poll for the next book of the month. That poll will end on the last day of the month and the cycle will continue.

Feel free to include as many spoilers as you want in your comments as the post itself is marked as containing spoilers.

I'm hoping someone else could get started or else I will have to. 😅

I read the three body problem trilogy at about the same time, it was so nice to have collaboration between aliens in hail Mary as opposed to the dark forest universe.

I thought it was great sci Fi, and I'm excited for Andy Weir's next. Love his sense of realism.

Oh man the Three Body Problem. That there is quite the interesting series of books. It's one of the few that I go back to on a regular(ish) basis to re-read.

The last hundred or so pages were rough. I had to stop and read a book about trees to get through it.

It was an awesome series all in all, but man, did it get dark. So you re reading should I just make sure you're doing ok?
