Project Hail Mary 

Scientific and technological forces combine to achieve beneficial outcome.

Alright, I acknowledge it’s not the most descriptive oneliner of my career, but how often do you get to say it?

Plus, there’s a good chance that you will read it someday and my experience was enhanced by a total absence of spoilers. 

This is the most fun I’ve had reading sci fi since I was a teenager. Massive shoutout to @kyle for the recommendation, who also provided an excellent elevator pitch. It’s MacGyver in space. PHM is that and more.

I read it to my oldest boy, and it’s currently his favorite book.

Strongest possible recommendation. Send it straight to the top of your list.

A River Runs Through It

A family of fly fishermen lose a brother. 

This is the best fishing book. And it’s also a beautifully written piece of literature, even for those who don’t fish. 

I’ve read maybe a dozen fishing books, and with the exception of John Gierach’s books, I’ve found them all at least a little off putting as a consequence of the authors’ varying degrees of poseur. Most were filthy casuals, even those who purported to be dedicated or addicted.

Norman Maclean is the real thing. He’s a true fisherman. It matters to me, but only because of that Gell-Mann amnesia effect. 

What will matter to many more is that he’s also an outstanding writer and storyteller. He writes with humor and poetry, but always stays grounded. 

I held off reading this because I love the movie and I didn’t want a sub par book to compromise my enjoyment. Far from it, turned out. 

Recommended for everyone. Highly recommended for anyone who fishes or loves someone who fishes.

I have read all these. 

I don’t often read a book in a day. 

I read ~120 in 2024 and I’m working through that list, and reviewing my 2025 books in real time. 

I’m not a fast reader, but I spend a lot of time reading. 

I’m almost out of books to review, and I’m expecting to take a break from reviews soon.
