Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
We had a pretty good turnout for our first book of the month vote. To be honest I did not anticipate the problem of there being a tie. I took the liberty of flipping a coin which came out heads for Project Hail Mary. In the future I might have to come up with a better method of tie breaking. I'm figuring this out as I go and it is all just for the fun of it anyway so please don't take this too seriously.
I intend to read this book over the month of September and then near the end of the month I will create a discussion thread for it where people can discuss it without worrying about spoilers. Follow along if you want to.

[off topic?]
I'd like to mention two books worth reading.
Author Daniel Suarez is hit and miss for me. Two great ones are 'Daemon' and 'Delta-V.'
Daemon posits a dying billionaire who comes up with a way top rebuild society from beyond the grave.
Delta-V is old school 'hey, kids, let's start ming the asteroids!'
Thank you.
Also, I think #6 is the best on the list, but 'Project Hail Mary' was very good, too.
