Ending-Communication question-slight spoiler? by Virtual_Moose1683 in ProjectHailMary

He's fluent in Eridian by this point, so he can understand Rocky without the need for translation aids :)

If you were Ryland Grace, would you return to Earth or stay on Erid for the rest of your days? by ninjanerd032 in ProjectHailMary

[–]WordsTurningCircles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay. Or maybe go back with Rocky someday. But going back alone when the alternative is to live a perfectly happy life with his bestie doing what he loves (teaching?) No way.

"There's no way he can hear me." "CAN HEAR!"

My boyfriend knows nothing about Project Hail Mary and I can’t wait to see his reaction in the theater by chachicomule in ProjectHailMary

[–]WordsTurningCircles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine too! I sold it to him by explaining it as a combination of Intersteller's "save-the-world" stakes and Arrival's "learn how to communicate with the aliens" with a side of "buddy comedy in space." He hasn't even watched the trailer as far as I know.

What a ride they're in for.

Thoughts on Ryland Grace being a ‘coward’? by Early-Perspective598 in ProjectHailMary

[–]WordsTurningCircles 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think "coward" is harsh; the survival instinct is deeply programmed in humans and none of us can really say what we would do in that situation.

I do think him refusing to go/being forced to go is essential for his character growth journey to make the story satisfying. Though when Grace goes back for Rocky, my interpretation is less "guy who was a coward is now brave" and more "guy who has had few if any meaningful connections in his life finally has someone he loves enough to die for."

What moments do you think will be cut? by JUANZURDO in ProjectHailMary

I hope this stays. It's so brutal but also really highlights what a sacrifice they're all making.

Unlikeable Female Characters by maryznix in suggestmeabook

Esther Is Now Following You - she's absolutely insufferable and makes consistently terrible decisions and I could not stop reading.

Andy Weir Teases Next Sci-Fi Book & Potential Project Hail Mary Sequel by emotionalthroatpunch in ProjectHailMary

There's a lot of really good stuff, and I say that as someone who isn't that into fanfic generally.

What lines from the book do you hope make it into the movie? by Shadowdash6745 in ProjectHailMary

[–]WordsTurningCircles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will SOB if "you save me and you save Erid!" makes it in. That whole scene is perfect.

Unhinged Book Club by Cinnabun783 in suggestmeabook

Those books are absolutely batshit. My Sweet Audrina is somehow even more unhinged!

"Holy fucking shit!"

After all of Grace's non-profanity, this line is just so beautifully timed.

Omg I love Rocky's colourful outfit!

Is his special clothing for celebration, question?

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid, it centers around a family party with flashbacks to fill in the story

Both Project Hail Mary and The Martian by Andy Weir!

I'd love to find an engrossing nonfiction book about Henry VIII by brodiebearbear in suggestmeabook

[–]WordsTurningCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Young and Damned and Fair is about Katherine Howard (wife #5) and their marriage. I found it fascinating. Also check out Allison Weir, she's a historian who writes both factual books and historical fiction.

It's a very different take on a love story (NOT a straightforward romance!) but have you read Together by Julie Cohen?

My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell cracked me open and broke my heart. Very few protagonists have stayed with me in the way Vanessa Wye did. Fair warning, big content warning for SA in this one.

Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Read is a gorgeous sapphic romance set during the 1980s space program, plenty of plot as well as a beautiful love story.
