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?

I just finished Project Hail Mary and just started The Passage.

    Project Hail Mary is my favorite book I've read in the last couple years. So good. Cannot recommend enough to sci-fi, mystery, or thriller fans

    I'm halfway through. The science stuff is ok but the characters...oh man. Let's just say writing compelling dialog/characters not his greatest strength

    Edit: oh I'm sorry for having a different opinion. Why don't you downvote me so we can just get the full reddit experience. C'mon, the dialog is cringe af. At one point Stratt slaps him and yells "snap out of it! We must focus on the mission". Barf.

    I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Ray Porter, so maybe he delivered it in a way that meant I didn't notice it. But I did notice a similar vibe in Artemis (also audio, but narrated by someone else, cant recall who).

    Edit: a typo and to add it was Rosario Dawson that narrated Artemis
