Yes! I mentioned I absolutely love the Martian, I started it at 8:00 p.m. and ended up reading the entire thing and got no sleep lol. I read Project Hail Mary this year and liked it 98% as much which is still very high praise it was 5☆! I am a science nerd and the only big thing in The Martian that doesn't make sense is the storm in the beginning because Mars doesn't have a thick enough atmosphere for that, Project Hail Mary has quite a few more scientific inaccuracies but they were necessary for the story and didn't harm it. If dnfs count Taming the Storm by Avory Phoenix was my worst book of the year that I read the first 37% in september and gave up. I don't dnf much I'm at 141 finished 2 dnfs. I read We by Yevgeny Zamyatin in september and honestly gave it 3☆ , I found it to be moderately interesting but personally confusing. I found the history of the book itself more interesting like how it was published translated into English first and the original Russian was published much later. I prefer 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. Two historical mysteries I liked in September were "The Fossil Hunter" by Tea Cooper which takes place in Australia and "The Fox Wife" by Yangsze Choo which took place in China with some magical elements. A low science sci-fi Adventure I really liked in August was Star Scrapper by J.N Chaney
@@zachreads Wow, that’s interesting! So the only big inaccuracy is actually what started the whole adventure. I really want to read Project Hail Mary, but I am in line for it in the library. It is apparently a popular book! I think I’m number 20, even though they have more than 30 copies in the library. I wanted to dnf Study for Obedience, but I kept thinking it would get better. I also don’t usually dnf. I will be giving away some books though. They were not amazing and I don’t want to keep them in my library. As for We, I agree, it was somewhat confusing. And the language was hard for me. I read the original, so not sure what language is like in English, but in Russian it was hard even though it’s my first language. I do want to give it another chance though. I read it about 7 years ago and I’m hoping that this time I will be able to understand it better. But I did like 1984 more as well. I actually want to try reading dystopian novels for like a month to be able to see the similarities and differences, identify patterns and find my favorite. It turns out there are so many dystopian novels I haven’t heard about before!
