Three lives, six decades, and I never once wanted her to hurry. Since three years I've been looking for it in Spanish and can't find it anywhere! My mother would sit with this all winter.9 out of 10@the_slow_reader

Project Hail Mary reviewed by @ivor_stack
The problem-solving I enjoyed enormously; the jokes I could have done without about a hundred times. Seven, and most of it is for the chapter where he works out the units.7 out of 10Project Hail Mary

I lived through one of these. Permissible stress gave way to limit state design over about a decade, and the older men never converted; they simply retired. He has the mechanism right and nearly everything else vague. Eight.8 out of 10The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
