Probably Project Hail Mary, although I don't think there's a wrong choice.

I don't know much about Project Hail Mary but I see a lot of people are reading it. Is it funny? Why do you like it? :)

I'm British and I get the humour but maybe being released in the early 80s it's a bit too old fashioned.

First, Your dad had excellent taste. Second, I'm really sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad this week too and it sucks. Hang in there.

I had an odd experience with this series; I first read the first book at about 19, and just...didn't fucking get it.
Read it again a few years later and couldn't fathom how I hadn't realized HOW FUNNY it was. I don't know if it was too British, or what, but the humor just hit much different after I had a few more years on me.

But it sounds like it's just not to your taste. I don't know how funny I'd find it now, I haven't read it in many years.

Don’t panic

>Even "heterosexuality" was defined as an abnormal attraction to people of the opposite sex up until the 1920s

That's very interesting. Would you have any reccos for books on the history of terminology relating to sexuality, orientation, etc.?

Genius

I was quite upset when The Witcher had Netflix plastered all over their content and books. I recently learned (on Reddit actually) that there is a new hardcover set with beautiful artwork not tainted by the advertisements being done by Orbit. You can check them out here. I recently picked up the first 2 at my local B&N.

Sorry for your loss and just your thought to quote Adams says good things about the both of you. I always loved this one: "Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans."

I didn't like the movie but I loved the tv series.

Well said.

Could be. But just because he's interpreted the song wrong doesn't mean he can't have genuine feelings towards it.

I dunno. I just love talkin about books.

Yes we all do, society does, did she put her rook in the back, I don’t know I have her the time , Salinger is a minor god to most US intellectuals

Excellent post

Brothers Karamazov

The Glass Bead Game

I didn't care for it either. I dropped it half-way through the first book and dropped my copy off at Goodwill. Not my cup of tea.

The library for most books because we are trying to conserve on space and money. Besides, my tax dollars pay for it.

I'll definitely give it a watch.

Moon is one of my all time fav sci fi's.

I loved this book. It hit very close to home for me.

You don't have to go that far.

I've seen people arguing that the relationship between Frodo and Sam was of two gay me. And not of two friends.

Watch the movie. Sam Rockwell is always hilarious.
