What book(s) are you currently reading? 31 August - eviltoast

I finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Loved the book. There was lots of science, but it was explained well enough that it wasn’t an issue. There were also certain things which may not feel very probable, but it’s a science fiction, so I didn’t care about that, but I can see some people having problem with that.

Started a manga, Jujutsu Kaisen, Volume 1. Just started it yesterday, after finishing Project Hail Mary, and have almost finished it. I have read a couple of small manga before, but it’s my first physical one, so enjoying that. Though, when I got it, I didn’t realise JJK is still an on-going series. Personally I prefer something that has finished. Ah well, already started it, so just going to read them slowly now.

Still reading The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. The book has been a lot more helpful that I expected it to be. I never thought about the “why” part much, at least haven’t done so in a while. So, all the talk about mindfulness and chapters about living the intentional life are helpful.

What about you guys? What have you been reading?

      Nice. How readable it is? Sometimes books like these can be very dense, though I read Einstein’s Relativity a long time ago, and it was quite readable.

        It’s readable, but if you’re like me, and you don’t have some background knowledge in this field, it will likely be difficult to understand all of it.

          Ah, got it. I’m interested in scientific books, but haven’t read anything in quite a while. Last one was A Brief History of Time by Hawkings. I should properly read it again and start looking at some other books after that.
