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?

Not interesting because I assume most people already read ir, but I'm reading to kill a mockingbird. I finally found time for and it's an amazing book. I really enjoying it?

Everything on this instance is fantasy. So much so that I legitimately thought it was a fantasy instance for awhile. I find any and all non-fantasy discussion to be really refreshing.

What are you specifically enjoying about TKaM?

Haha, yeah, I agree, fantasy / sci-fi is the most dominating genre, though we do get some mentions of different genres.

I think this has to do with the lemmy demographics, it's still not mainstream. So, the popular genres are skewed more toward geek-ish crowd.
