Finished reading Project Hail Mary I’ll give it a 4* but I didn’t care for then final ending scene. Too cute He’s a good writer … keeps the reader engaged and reading, but maybe a bit too much science detail. |

magnets pull,
we feel, having

there is a
distance where
words attract.
Set one out
like a bait goat
and wait and
seven others
will approach.
But watch out:
roving packs can
pull your word
away. You
find your stake
yanked and some
rough bunch
to thank.”

Ha, well yeah I'm trying. Working on editing/finalizing a collection of science articles I hope to e-publish in the next few weeks.
Will be watching/reading your reviews here.
Thanks for the note!
