I love when I’m reading a story that’s so good I can’t stop thinking about getting back to it while I go about my day.

Been a while since I found something that fits this description. What’s the last book that did this for you?

Probably The Martian. I had to find out how he dealt with the next major issue that came up that was gonna kill him.

Have you read his next book, Hail Mary? Similar vibes.

Yes, I have. I quite enjoyed that one too, despite its flaws. While a fun and enjoyable read I didn’t find it quite as much a book I couldn’t put down.

Yeah I agree it isn’t quite as gripping as the Martian, but for me the more philosophical questions of the book made up for it.

I first read that when I was about 16 years old, and felt the same way.

Started watching the Silo show and got tired of waiting to see what happens next, so I picked up Wool and read through it in a couple days.
